That's the killer. If they are wanting to position themselves as the

Hi Guys,
My fault...
I do not consider Servoy as a solution.
I want to be able to build applications for medium, small and even home users.
I don't want the application to be attached to a service.

Hey Alan,
I'm glad you brought up Servoy - as I was going to suggest it here. The

Hi José,
I looked at an early beta of this product and was not impressed.
My personal, highly subjective opinion was this product is clunky and a
pain-in-the-ass to install with lots of dependencies.
The product itself is basically a code generator - but the beta version
