I've been watching a lot of db frontends and sql-ledger, horde, and turba this past couple of months.
All of them will succeed, but none of them are ready for prime time yet. I have preferences but I also have a business to run. No rush, anyway. I have been in business for 35 years. One thing, if you can teach one Linux fanatic one thing..................(many are rabid to a point embarrassing for me) is that a good product prevails in the marketplace. I'm in Linux because it's smart. I might have been in for the sport at first, but it is smart now.
