Oh, that's just stupid. That's an old product, and it's not even engineering - you don't have to know diddly-squat to use it to build apps that are now about a decade out-of-date.

Sybase Powerbuilder? Really?

Yes - really. And most of the operations system are built using this archaic behemoth... and work about as well as you would expect.

What's worse is that the "next generation" is web based apps... but "the powers that be" are completely inflexible on using whatever framework might be best suited for the given task. (Don't get me wrong, I understand having a consistent look and feel to a web based portal, but really?)
