Bill, As someone who has in fact used FileMaker to create a full-blown application (though not of the standalone variety) on several occasions, I can attest to at least much of what you say. My experience is all FMPro 5.5 and earlier, so it is seriously outdated, but I always found FM to be really great up to a point and then really difficult or impossible to get beyond some wall or another. Deployment was always an issue for me even though I did spend a LOT of time trying to understand and use the Web deployment approach. I ended up contracting with an outfit that hosted FM solutions on their servers and that not only cost way more than I thought it should, it was complex as all get-out.
It was nice to read a clearly knowledgeable update of the FM situation vis a vis building database apps in FM vs. Rev. I appreciate the time you took to create such a detailed and helpful response.
