Surely, EGL vs. <OTHER TECHNOLOGY> is always a web-related topic, and therefore more appropriate for WEB400 than Midrange-L?
While I know you don't like hearing about EGL, Scott, I do have to respond to this.

EGL is not limited to web development. EGL can be used to build batch applications that run on the i, or even 5250 applications. It can even create platform-independent thick-client applications, although I don't think a lot of resources are being spent there.

In fact, EGL is the only language I know that can generate applications that run in the browser, in a web application server, on a desktop, and in 5250 or batch on the i.

So while in the previous context we were indeed discussing web development, it's potentially possible to talk about using EGL to, for example, write applications that run in batch on the System i and consume web services. This would be in contrast to writing such code in Java or RPG.
