Hi Patrick, The eternal debate between build or buy. In the end, a framework is just a tool – or a collection of tools. The primary question is, is your client willing AND capable of developing all components of the new architecture, backend and frontend required to match the users’ needs along with developer productivity to match the required time to market themselves. Or would they rather use components that were tested in a similar environment and are provided from a vendor with a lot of experience in the field you’re working in. „just as the SmartComponentLibrary, but I don't know how these rate on closed vs open sources.” Source code for the SmartComponent Library is provided to all of our clients and our development process is very transparent to our customers. I fully agree with James (and probably most here will), that the separation of Business Logic and frontend is an absolute basic requirement. So is the ability to use a framework together with any legacy which is there to allow for any migration strategy that makes sense in your specific situation.. If you’re looking into a CCS compliant framework for the OpenEdge backend and various clients (OpenEdge, OpenEdge GUI for .NET, Angular 4, NativeScript, …) let me know and we can have a conversation offline, an online meeting or just have a meeting in Prague next week.

I would need to check my bank account, but I don't think I am paid by PSC 
With regard to frameworks: I am a bit divided on this; a framework like DWP makes life extremely easy for a developer, but there does not seem to be a lot of activity anymore. Besides, the inner parts are closed source, hence lock-in. OF-1 seems active, just as the SmartComponentLibrary, but I don't know how these rate on closed vs open sources. And sure, there are more web frontends, but having one that works tightly with OE has its advantages. And my JavaScript skills are a bit rusty at best, so I am definitely not looking for a solution that requires heavy JS programming.
