New Release

Trying to be an optimist here.  Since it is preview technology, maybe it 
isn't ready for primetime and is lacking some of the functionality that 
would 
make us totally switch over to using it and not look back.  I know the 
WDHT 
preview technology in my opinion (seamless integration between WebFacing 
and 
HATS) was not really that seamless.  But it was a start and will only get 
better.  Maybe just maybe the Code Designer replacement is functional but 
not quite there and so they are releasing it in the Advanced version 
giving 
them more time to make it even better so that when it is included in the 
Standard edition of WDSC that they will have a manageable list of 
enhancements from those of us who are willing to use it every day.  I 
can't 
see how IBM can not at some point give the Standard Users of WDSC a 
replacement for Code Designer.  It just means we have to wait a little 
longer.  This will also give them time to develop features within for a 
standard and advanced version of it.  That is my hopeful thought about the 

new release.  I have been using WDSC since it first came out and had been 
using WebSphere Studio to do Java web apps before there was a WDSC 
integrated development environment and I have seen improvements everytime. 

It is just that sometimes I would like to see the improvements sooner than 

later.
