Here is my statement of moving on from OpenRPGUI: http://bit.ly/10Rut8z

--- brief digression ---
The RPG community has an imbalance of types of programmers - more
specifically, we don't have enough that are interested in collaborating on
open source projects to take those projects further to where they need to
be. Nobody is at fault, it's just reality. When we take that reality into
consideration we need to assess our long term goals and what our technology
stacks will look like for the next decade. Competitors to our businesses
are using the likes of RubyOnRails (or PHP Laravel) to get to market much
faster than one could do it with RPG-CGI (I've done both for years now, so
I am not speaking on ignorance). It is for these reasons why I am
adopting/pursuing other programming stacks - all-the-while keeping the
excellent IBMi+DB2 foundation in place.

RPG will never "die", but our community doesn't produce enough tooling to
keep IBM i businesses competitive. Obviously there are businesses that
have used RPG to get to the web successfully (I've done this a number of
times, Brad has done it even more), so I am not saying RPG can't do it.
