From Rich Bianco's PB Blog, The Displaced Guy: "Being a career PowerBuilder developer like myself, I keep a close eye on the marketplace and where I think PowerBuilder is headed. Part of the reason that I stick with the tool is because I believe it is technically superior to most of the other development tools out there but the competition is catching up. Microsoft has been trying to catch up for years unfortunately they cannot stay focused on something long enough to make it great? like PowerBuilder did. Java has a very nice niche in the market, well niche may be too strong a word as Java is very alive in the corporate world with large enterprise applications but it has never reached critical mass like PowerBuilder did and probably never will.
Will PowerBuilder ever be the tool of choice again? Highly unlikely but not impossible."
