Oracle's direction for Forms is an eye opener on how PB should evolve in the coming years. It is heartening to see how Forms, a Client/Server desktop dev tool is being transformed into a modern app development tool. Check out this webinar: The Future of Forms is .....

One of the bullets in Oracle Forms Strategy 'Bring Forms productivity to JEE world' makes it clear that when it comes to productivity, 4GL tools are far superior and there is currently no 4GL capabilities in Web development in the market. Instead of waiting for the market to keep coming up with some new stuff (web development is still at 3GL level even after 15 years), why not take advantage of the superior 4GL capabilities for app development.
