I don't really want to speak for Brad Stone or Bob Cancilla, but I think
that our approaches teach and simplify Web development for new applications.
You may be able to use varying amounts of existing RPG or COBOL code, but
you must (get to) design new screens.  My goal was to make it as easy to
build a Web application as a 5250 application.  Not to extend existing
applications.  Joe Pluta's emphasis seems to be some sort of a bridge to
existing applications.
