Hi Mark!
I agree with everything in your note but in the interest of brevity snipped
much of it out.

The big problem is the bundling.  As positioned, it is to be all things to
all developers.

Green screen people think of WDSc as the follow on to Code.  Java people
think of it as the follow on to VAJ.  It is at the same time both, and
neither, being a work in progress.  Until it is complete, no faction (web,
5250, Java only) will be satisfied with a collection of parts being sold as
an integrated development environment.
