Xojo decided to really focus on new users years ago
And that focus meant things that full time professional developers needed/wanted/hoped that Xojo would focus on never happened
And, they got what they decided to pursue
Lots of new users with now experience and the people who could have or would have helped those new people out have left BECAUSE they saw, very clearly, the they were not Xojo’s focus
Web 2 was a good example
If you had a sizeable Web1 app that you had created & had lots fusers Web 2 was literally “Yeah thats once now rewrite EVERYTHING”
No migration strategy or tool or assistance to make that move
If you were new to Xojo it seemed like a lot of whining from people about not being able to move their projects because they’d just start a new one in Web 2 and go
API 2 just added to that as it was in flux - but still released - and things like autocomplete for existing projects were just turned off so it made working on and old project to move it to newer IDE’s unnecessarily difficult
Again if you were new to Xojo it seemed like a lot of whining from people about not being able to move their projects because they’d just start a new one and go and just start with API 2
Anyone that had existing projects was punished(?) for having been a long term customer
Which is about the time INN got started because all the complaints from long term users were in threads being locked, closed, those users suspended or banned.
And when INN got started
