>> Define "better".<< Exactly my point.
If I have to pick between a tool with a better ROI that is going to get me faster to market with the existing and trusted software developer (and ties me to the preferred platform), and one that has higher training costs (that might not be in the budget) with a huge learning curve with say thousands of classes, and giving up years of experience and trusted and proven code libraries, just to have the smallest possibility that the company is going to dump years of invested infrastructure, I would pick the "better" tool with the better ROI. Chances are any monster movement in technology will force different decisions down the road anyway and anything decided today will most likely be meaningless with respect to the new advances. Don't get me wrong Paul. If cross-platform is a heavy requirement then it should be part of the consideration, but most companies I deal with are not about to toss out all their hardware, or even something like the OS and software to start over on a new platform. The investment they made years ago is still working and will for years. There is no need for them to move off the platform that has served them so well. Heck, several of my clients don't want to give up their DOS apps.
