I agree.   Get used to the tool.  It's the future(I think for sure this
time)
Finially a framework that intends to embrace everything; Code400, Java,
Web, etc.
The wizards are great.  The online help takes you thru samples step by
step.

Create something without being an HTML/Java/Javascript expert.
Look at the Javascript/HTML/Java it generates.

The system's explorer is neat.  Some overlap of function with Ops Nav.
Look at Your iSeries jobs with it and you even see the Server Jobs running
under the "Q" userid's.


The Eclipse I think even generate the creation of 3rd party plugins. Like
Rational Rose, and others.
It's cross platform so it will be supported/funded greatly.

My early impressions.    Get your developer PC on steriods and have fun.
