There you see, people response well w/ RB on Linux. Yes, indeed I forgot about console apps. I always rely on Perl & PHP for non GUI. It is much easier to use RB whether you use it for GUI or not. It's a multi-purpose developing tool. I won't be surprise to see people replacing RB w/ PHP, since the compiler is built-in RB, whereas you have to pay Zend for a compiler. However, w/o the MySQL for version 5, most users just consider it a toy. It's still great for learn how to program or a prototype, and no big use for now. Delay of the MySQL is another opportunity for other compiler maker to make money.
