Since I have opt’d out of any further commuincation directly with Xojo, and I obtained this survery from a 3rd part source… I thought I’d publicly post how I would have answered. If anyone else would like to post theirs, feel free :slight_smile: ##Annual Xojo Experience Survey - 2020## What k…

[image] Joseph: what’s the beef with API2.0 Mostly that it is more buggy than API1 and obsoletes years or even decades of build code libraries, frameworks, templates, scripts. In some cases it affects third-party products that you would not be able to recreate yourself (Bob’s FullTextControl …

dont forget the years of xDev articles, books, video training … etc the assumption was “oh the community will recreate all those” and eventually it might but we’re 20 years into API 1 so will it take another 20 years to get those things back ?

Imma frustrated that every new project defaults to API 2.0 and there’s no way to set that to API 1.0.
