I don’t think you’re the only one Stefan, most probably the fact that there are only few (if not none) new clients is somehow well known… but, guess what, sometimes the best customers are those that you already have and being a listed company with a somehow large user base puts PSC in position to rather cater for existing customers instead of chasing new ones. Eventually the user base does decrease as you say and that is unfortunate, would probably be better if consultants like yourself would see the value of using the ‘business language’ and advocate for it but then again we’re not talking about Microsoft, IBM or newer players like Google that care a bit more about what consultants and developers think of their development products. I guess they first have to decide if there is still a market for a 4GL, or a business language regardless of how advanced that might be, and make that better or just drop the mic and move to OO (3GL) like everyone else. What I’ve liked about 4GL before was the data driven approach that made for a rapid application development environment but that is somehow fading away behind layers and layers of OERA and I feel we’re kinda loosing the biggest advantage the language had (imho, it’s not the pleiades of keywords but rather the simple syntax for data access). Bottom line is like James said, we can either try to give feedback to make things better or just decide isn’t worth and move to something else but then what do you even care? Bashing about it will certainly not bring any customer back let aside new ones so it can’t really be good for consulting business either
