CDML is fairly pale imiatation of what the full blown Lasso can do.
Actually, it reminds we a lot of where PHP sits in the market: the later
versions of BlueWorld's Lasso are quite powerful, but it involves a lot of
scripting work and is no-where as easy to use, and therefore not as quick,
as WiTango to do the same job. I've used it for some jobs a few years back
but IMHO as a developer you'd be wasting your time if you didn't buy
WiTango instead.
