One thing I learned early on with VARPG was that if the project complexity was becoming an issue and dragging down deliverables then there was every change that the design could be looked at, and other solutions found that would simplify life for everyone and compromise nothing.

My first example of that had to do with the amounts of data we wanted to make available. It was just too hard to cram it all in, and we had performance issues. Then we decided to use a tabbed notebook, and build just a couple of the more popular tabs and deliver it to users. Their feedback proved very useful, and as we added tabs, at our pace, we made a full blown and sophisticated application that was well received and required almost no training for new users.

I must say, those VARPG applications made me realize there is no reason for the system i shops top go anywhere else. This is a personal opinion only, but in my opinion browser aps are nice but they will never displace Word or Excel.

My answer to the question, 'Is VA-RPG worth looking into?', would be not
at this time.

It might work for simple applications but not much more.  It is not
object-oriented, which becomes more of an issue the more complex your
application becomes.  We have one application and it crashes
persistently.  It also does not support EIM, which is holding us back.

The latest planning statement eludes to some future overhaul but there
is no telling if and when that will happen.
