Re: VAJAVA vs CODE/400

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

THAT'S IT. I'VE HAD IT. I've tried all weekend to make VAJAVA work for me.
It locks up, the debugger doesn't work when I want it to, and after a
problem, I can't save my source.

The only reason I started using it (VAJAVA) is to have a debugger that
works, since the debugger shipped with WDT/400 doesn't support the JDK
shipped with WDT/400. Now that makes allot of sense.

IBM promotes Java as the best thing since sliced bread. They tool the death
bell of native development paradigms. They tell developers that they should
learn the "new" technologies and I, for one, embrace learning new things.
I've finally, in the last month, was able to put aside the some time
explicitly for learning Java. The language itself doesn't seem that
difficult and the learning curve is not as steep as I had heard. But the
tools provided by IBM, in my opinion are atrocious.

People on these lists spend allot of time and energy slamming MS. I, for
one, feel that anyone developing an IDE for any environment should look at
VB. MS got it right with that one.

OK, I'm done with my Monday morning rant.
