Comments, anyone?
The rebranding makes sense to me. Why link PDM, SEU, and native
compilers to the Websphere brand? It would have more sense to me for
IBM to initially limit the Websphere brand to products that ran under
Websphere Application Server (portal, etc.).
The unbundling and repackaging also makes sense to me. And so does
user based pricing. How will IBM know what customers are using
otherwise? How will IBM know if the new tools are successful otherwise?
Announced pricing may still not be competitive, but that's easier to
adjust over time. Personally I hope the price of ADTS and native
compilers comes down to be more in line with IBM's cost to support them.
RDi SOA appears to be well positioned to compete against Microsoft
Visual Studio and .Net - feature wise.
For me personally, I'm happy with ADTS and the ILE compilers. I haven't
needed IBM's Eclipse based tools. The new pricing works to my
advantage.
