Being one of the Newbie... since 2006 :-), I would say that Apple behavior with WO is clearly sending me a signal to move to something else. I am more of a scientific, no GUI, type of programer. Even being new to WO and Java, I was able to quickly build a very powerful Web-App with nice GUI with WO Builder and old Apple Tutorial. Without them, I am lost.
I have tried WOLips with Eclipse and I am nowhere near where I was with WO two years ago. People told me that WO had a steep learning curve. To me it is Eclipse that I find difficult to grasp.
I am sure that Eclipse can do everything pretty good, but to me, WO was great at one thing, helping me bring my idea to the web very fast and quite easily.
