Model Glue lost my vote when I got to their site. It uses BlogCFC and not their own product. Not good in my book. Then slammed with the google ads. Now look at productivityenhancement.com and noticed it is built with plum and no crazy ads. As for interace PLUM out of box is somewhat dull and can me prettied a bit using the stylesheets but it is acceptable for applications. Currently PLUM in my opinion is PLUM is the most complete tool out there and the easist to learn.
