Unity is good. Real good. They're doing a lot of things right over there.

Just to keep perspective, though, there are some downsides.

- Plug-in penetration is low
- It only does 3D
- For more complex apps, you need to go beyond the drag-and-drop stuff
and write code. I believe C# is the language of choice.
- It's relatively new. If you've been around a while, you have seen a
number of good technologies come and go. iTribe, mTropolis, Icon
Author, etc.

Of course, new apps sometimes succeed. Unity's main competition is
probably Director/Shockwave, which positions Unity very nicely. They
might make the cut--as I said, they have some Real Good People working
for them. The technology is there, and the marketing is making
inroads. Time will tell.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
