For our particular context, developing this novel component framework was necessary so that we could build out our vision for MOBIE. It has enabled us to build systems consisting of ridiculous numbers of forms and views with a minimum of development resources.
It has also opened up interesting business opportunities where our partners, like Powerfulwebsites.com, are able to quickly come up to speed on the technology and field complex functionality independently.
While it remains to be seen whether or not our design choices and compromises are appealing to those outside the virtual walls of DTLink Software, formVista(tm) has proven itself invaluable to us in completing development projects for dozens of commercial and government clients using less staff, in less time for less money while each time walking away with new capabilities and tools to apply to the next project.
