It's true that they may not drop C++, Java,etc... but the ease of use of RB and RAP tool will allow them to quickly prototypes or eventually turn prototypes into real applications. I really see RB to be the answer to Linux's developers for important accounting app like Windows/Mac equivalent, such as Quickbook, especially MySQL based app. I like RB a lot more than VB, and M$ is not doing anything for Mac & Linux. VB is used for so many corporations to develop internal customized apps. I think RB will do the same, but better.
