Re: When is Scriptcase 6 going to be released?
I accept the sentiment but your conclusion is wrong; this is the " ScriptCase Forum ? Others ? News" news forum. AFAIK, the inference is that I can write about “other” stuff here. Irrespective, most of the posters have referenced other systems in shrouded words and they certainly haven’t linked in competitors.
I am a long time and frequent poster in what were the “Borland” and are now the Embarcadero forums. There has never been any problem discussing competitive technology there. The difference is, I suppose, that the programming platforms developed & support by Embarcadero are better established and understood than SC. And I don’t really recall them at any time misjudging their road map.
Irrespective, IMO the SC marketing team should shoulder some of the blame of the frustrations shown by some users here ; they tempted users in the first half of last year with “Enjoy the promotional prices until June 30th to guarantee your UPGRADE!!!” , implying that SC6 would be available soon. Anyone who took up that offer must be thinking that they were taken advantage of. Further, as software engineers the SC team should have known the dangers of implying delivery dates of software. Jeez, most of us here know how hard it is to program to a deadline.
I for one couldn’t care less. SC5.2 is just one of the tools I use, and my fortunes are not dependent on it. But I can understand why others might be a litlle miffed at the delays.
Anyway, it is an entertaining thread and I do enjoy looking in on it.
