There is a group of us out there that is unhappy with REALbasic and
would turn to another product immediately if it just offered that
one or two things that we're using from REALbasic. What is that
one piece for you?
I developed a relatively big library, which allows to develop DB apps
quite fast.
The lib is a kind of an alternate db bindings lib for RB.
Additionally, the lib
contains other stuff, like a NotificationCenter, LinceseManagement,
StandardEvents
for various controls. The lib is the result of 2 years work - and a
spin-off of several
other projects.
Well, Cocoa's CoreData Bindings approach is fast too, but I prefer to
be able to
deploy to different platforms, not only OS X - at least potentially.
If Apple would
decide to port Cocoa to Windows finally, I's switch back.
I checked QT, but decided against it. C++ is too expensive for my
typical tools.
I checked Java, but decided against it. Roughly 2-3 years ago, as I
started RB,
a Java prototype for a document management solution was far too slow
and required
far too much resources [RAM]. Today, this might not be a problem
anymore.
For now - despite all the bugs and problems - RB allows to develop
smaller tools
and helpers quite fast.
E.g., Server Scout is a 2007/1 build:

http://www.turingart.com/downloads/ServerScoutX.zip [UB]
Without having developed the above mentioned lib, I would probably re-
start evaluating
alternatives.
