Re: Advanced vs. Standard

I'm one of those 'underground' WDSc users you're talking about Buck.  This
issue has prodded me to throw in my two cents worth so here it goes:

 

$3500 / seat for this tool is too much when tools that do much more on other
platforms are available for next to nothing.

The designer should be in the standard version.  IBM needs to take into
account the fact that everyone that's currently running WDSc has already
invested a significant number of dollars when it comes to hardware upgrades,
on the job 'fly by the seat of your pants' training, and the lost
productivity due to the learning curve.  Why should I spend another $3500
and countless hours installing/learning/patching the advanced version?  I
just can't cost justify it.

Sounds like IBM will get  real earful at

the next Common conference from programmers.

 

Aside from the dozen or so active posters to this list, WDSCi is 

essentially unknown to RPG programmers.  Unless there's a secret 

underground of WDSCi users we don't hear from on this list, there won't 

be a long line howling about the AE situation.
