I'd like to know why everyone is using REALbasic. There are
other tools
out there. There are other languages out there. Why REALbasic?
I use a number of tools and choose the one I think is best for
each job.
RB's big advantages to me are:
* Cross platform with native binaries and widgets.
* Rapid development features, including a pretty broad class
framework that
runs as expected on all platforms.
* Rapid deployment features, i.e. you don't need an installer or
special
libraries on any platform.
* Good balance in the framework design. Some of .NET's classes are
more
formally designed but also too "deep", i.e. too many steps to get
from A to
B. Some other tools are too "shallow", i.e. you can get from A to
B but only
with one set of options. RB's framework and widgets seem about
right in
terms of complexity and flexibility. And when they're not there's
a decent
supply of 3rd party classes and widgets
I fact, I don't think, that there os a good 3rd party market of
classed and widgets.
Not even a bit comparable to Win's market.
