Re: Any tidbits?

Exactly...

If you managers want numbers, then best to look at it this way...

RDp is what, $895 per seat....lets call it an even $1000.

Lets say you make $50,000....so the price of RDp is only 2% of your salary...

Just given the number of lines on the screen, context assist and what
not...you shouldn't have any problems getting management to see that
it would help productivity by at least 2% in a year...

not really fair to do that, because everyone works differently

This makes it difficult to compute a hard and fast ROI, but I'd
say that's why they offer the trial version...so you can measure
for yourself.

A question : anyone ever gone to the trouble of writing the

same code in SEU and RDi and comparing the time needed just to type?

I am a green-screen RPG programmer.  That is, I do not do any
web/Java/PHP programming.  For what I do, WDSC is hands down
faster typing.  <tab> means TAB, and I can set my own tab
stops just like a real editor!  It makes D specifications go
like lightning!

I'd like to know how much faster. Managers want figures, not rough ideas. As the only regular user of WDSc in the shop. I'm stuck on a misfiring old V6.0 based on eclipse 3.1, I believe. Eclipse is the standard tool for our JAVA guys so they have a free version at 3.4. I say that comparing WDSC and SEU is like using block notes for JAVA instead of eclipse. Ok maybe I exaggerate a little. The next time I have a moan about it, I'd like to say something like "Rdi offers an x% increase in programmer production".
