I agree with Robert. For example, I'm assessing REBOL's capabilities
in a business enterprise context exactly because I need something
completely different from the ActiveX/Java development paradigm. If I
need to use ActiveX or Java, experience tells me it's better to stick
with their dedicated development environments and tools, for better
or (more often) worse. Just so, you will find more bugs and tuning
problems than you'd like. :-(
Just my two cents (of Euro, of course :-)
