I just got done with a year-long project to convert a client to CGC, and 
have these comments:

CGC had a perfectly good GUI version that was built with the newlook 
product from look software, then IBM "convinced" them that they should 
reintroduce the system built with the IBM tools. This is from a CGC 
employee.
Because of the limitations of the Webfacing tool, CGC's current version 
does not have the capability for the user to use a field exit key. The 
user must reach for the tab key while doing heavy data entry like 
timesheets. Picture that scene on Monday mornings when the time keepers 
are entering last week's labor and equipment hours. We've already 
discussed writing green screen code for that data entry function.
With the next version (now in beta), CGC's customers will no longer have 
green screens available.
The browser server software for some reason will not run on a Linux box. 
(I'm just the messenger).
It really doesn't matter which server is available on the iSeries. Most of 
the CGC clients are smaller shops, and will have to increase their CPW 
capacity (replace their current machines) in order to run future versions. 

CGC is cutting back their canned reports in favor of making the clients 
buy the Business Objects software. Again, that means more CPW capacity, 
since BO runs over an ODBC connection.
CGC sells hardware.
