Re: In need of general WO strategy advice

Hi Pierre, Kieran, Lachlan

First of all: Thanks for the quick reply - this is the best prove,  
that WO is not dead yet.

I guess that fact that I get bitten and bitten again by version  
conflicts between Leoard and Tiger, WO 5.3.x and WO 5.3.y and now WO  
5.4, Xcode and WO Lips has gotten me quite frustrated. And then (but  
that's of course strictly subjective) I don't like Eclipse that much  
(prefer Netbeans). But I did try! I did convert some WO projects to  
Eclipse... it just really takes me a lot longer to do simple layout  
changes (e.g. adding new form fields etc.) - I guess I'm missing the  
graphical editor.

- Code completion is great however
- If I would convert my projects properly (with splitting up EO  
classes) it would also make my life easier (just did not have the time  
yet)
- Ant as build process is of course much better than the proprietary  
Xcode stuff

So over all: I guess I will get used to it sooner or later. But  
claiming that productivity is better with WO Lips (without practice)  
is a bit far fetched I think.

Ah.... that explains a lot! Thanks.
