(Here we go with another optimistic post... maybe this one will make it to the list! Maybe)
IMHO as soon as FB branched from IB6 it was really wishful thinking to expect that the IB driver (and it was always IB only) would always work with FB. In our case we were kind of forced into Firebird as it fixed some critical issues of ours. It's been good to us though; I don't regret the move and there is no possibility of IB and FB ever becoming one again so you do have to choose and there's no point in bemoaning the differences. It would be nice if there was a free FB driver, but I suspect the only way that would happen is if FB dominated a lot more of the market share. In the meantime we use the Upscene driver. It's obviously profitable enough for them to maintain it....
