So I'm just curious on other people's opinions.

For the last couple of months I've plunged myself head first into Code for
i. As a long time RDi user I didn't quite know how much I'd like it,
especially since I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft productions, but really
it's been a positive experience. Especially when I got VS Code customised
the way I like it.

So do we think that Code for i will completely push RDi out the window, or
do you think we'll have both products for a long time? I think the one big
thing missing is a display and report designer, but there is another
extension now for display development.

I still miss Code/400 :)


Thanks,
