George,
I think you are confused by two things:
1) the JVM (SUN, Blackdown, IBM, Kaffe, MS..)
2) the development tool (JBuilder, Visual Cafe, Visual Age, MS J++...)
Considering the JVM its the key to potability. If your servlets are
compiled only against a specific JVM (being Microsoft or anybody else one I
don't intend to start the holly war), you loose potability
Considering the development tool you can, use any tool you want and MS or
Borland one are not (IMHO) the best ones, as their main point is the
interface.. and the servlet as no interface.
The other point is the debugging features and I don't know how MS (or
Borland) perform in this area.
But even if MS development tool has great debugging features, being forced
to use MS JVM seem to me a very exepnsive price to pay.
