Re: WebObject Support on the development tools

Still so much going on with WO? This is great to hear! We're in business=20
with WO since 1997, using now GNUStep. Our product is IntarS, a complete=20
OpenSource GPL business software suite for small to medium sized=20
companies. We didn't go for Java, so won't need Eclipse. Instead we put=20
our own scripting language on top of an ObjC Framework which is a=20
Universal Business Application. So we don't need Xcode either. All=20
developement of business logic is done inside the np++ Texteditor (or=20
TextMate or Emacs). A medium sized project consists of about 500 scripts=20
with 27 Kloc, half of them comments. Whipping up a new customer=20
application starts by chosing the closest template project (after having=20
understood the customer's requirements) and merge the data-repository=20
and scripts from other projects. This is typically done in one day,=20
giving a fully featured, good looking, keyboard enabled, highly=20
customizable, high performance application. In no way comparable to a=20
CRUD/D2W application. Btw. it does even configure apache2 itself.=20
Imagine a guy across the street who has some PHP/Ruby/Perl experience=20
and wants to build an inhouse database-centric application. He would=20
fail with plain WO but succeed whith this approach. I think, this is the=20
way to attract new developers and save them from PHP, JSP, BEA etc.
Btw. it is available as virtual appliance.
