And by the way, the move from Xcode + WOB + EOM to Eclipse + WOLips +
EM is really no different than Apple's move from the old iMovie to
iMovie 08. The big point of contention is that it's neither a clear
upward or downward move. In some ways it's substantially better, in
some ways it's worse, but, like Apple with iMovie, we (being WOLips
and Apple) collectively believe that even though we took a step down
in some areas, the overall trajectory of this direction is much
stronger. I fully believe this for WOLips. Yes, graphical editing of
tables isn't there yet, and you can't drag and drop bindings yet, but
there's a HUGE amount of new stuff that IS there that makes a much
stronger development platform to work off of. Think different ;)

There have been many mails on WO passing. First of all it didn't
until now, and it won't for some time (at least that is what I
think). But anyway. With the introduction of Webobject 5.4 and
Leopard we've seen two things:
1. Java isn't top priority anymore (look at Java 6 not being
there...).
2. Therefore also Webobjects can't be.
They didn't even manage to launch a new webobjects homepage
synchronized with the release of Leopard and in Server Features it
isn't leasted under the key technologie section. And to be honest,
the progress they made since 5.3 in my view is a little
dissapointing altough going in the right direction. They now mainly
rely on help from the superbe wonder community for tools and
anything. But in the end their pushing other technologies in place...
