One of the problems I had in responding, and with a relatively small
sample of data it may affect the results, is that I am using a Windows
Editor simply because I refuse to pay for an upgrade to the 5.5 Editor
when version 6.0 is supposed to be around the corner. Many of you
might remember my repeated posts asking about release dates and what
kind of grandfather upgrades might be available to those willing to
spend money now but not have to spend money again to upgrade.
So I am stuck using a Windows server and a Windows editor even though
Witango is the only reason I have that platform.
Much rather be using my Macs.

Hi All,
The survey has reached 49 responses, a very respectable number.
Congratulations everyone.

Note, I think the survey system only lets you see the first 50
responses. For more you have to buy a monthly subscription.
An observation that I think is interesting, is that the number of
people coding on a particular platform for their Editor/Studio does
not directly match the Server platform they deploy to. As well, the
majority of choice for an alternate technology platform (Linux) also
do not match the platform most considered stable for Witango
(Windows).
I think what that says is that Witango programmers are less
concerned about the Operating System they use, and more interested
in stability and options. Personally I think that's a great
attribute for a good programmer or service provider - by focusing on
the solution and not letting yourself get hung up on the logistics.
Of course, some might say the same should be said about our choice
of programming languages too.
Also, I see the interest in Java based options (both current and as
an alternate technology) being very low - yet, a lot of people are
planning to move to version 6 which is apparently java-based. Does
that mean we trust Java more as an application platform than as a
coding environment? Just curious.
In hindsight I know I could have worded things a little differently,
but mostly I wish I had added another option for Question 10 (What
do you use or see as a workable transition platform?) as "Not
interested in moving away from Witango". But for being a spur of the
moment thing, I think it all worked out pretty well. Thank you.
Take care.
Scott,
