Joe,

I'm going to throw my .02 in here...

I find it interesting that you consider CODE Designer obsolete and
Screen Designer a replacement for SDA...

Granted, there's many a user of SEU/PDM/SDA out there...

But I'd think many (most?) users of WDSCi / RDi have been using CODE
Designer instead of SDA. Personally, I've not used SDA in 10 years or
more.

To my way of thinking SDA has been obsolete since CODE came out.

As I noted before, I don't use CODE. I've tried it, and I always disliked it. Like Mr. Gibbs, I'm comfortable using SEU for most things and SDA when SEU isn't viable. Getting out of the green screen to go into CODE was always too jarring an experience, and that carried over when I moved to the Eclipse-based GUI tools. Much the same way that I still occasionally use SEU for CL, it's just faster to use SEU or SDA for screens. But now that I'm using the Designer, that's not the case because I'm still in the workbench.

I'm glad people use CODE; their transition to Screen Designer should be easy. But now I think RDPi has all the tools necessary to finally pry some of the last holdouts away from their green screens even for display file design.

Well, maybe not David... <grin>
