I will not disagree with you, you are absolutely right. If something uncommon is needed then you have to use the "hard way". But for all others which is the 95% of business development you spend 1/6 of the time compared to other tools.

Anyway, the main reason for my post is that Linux really lacks Powerbuilder like tools and controls. U++ really broke a few barriers and looks like it's heading for a more business development approach while retaining the advanced features that some developers may need.

We also have to admit that another reason for Windows being so popular is because it's easy to build software on it even if this software is technically good or bad. People in software companies that build business software do not need "control", they need to quickly develop and sell. And windows offers these kind of tools Powerbuilder, Delphi, VB, etc.

IMO, if Linux wants to gain more users then it needs a truly RAD tool that leaves "control" to those who REALLY need it and does not force everyone to go the hard way and U++ seems to have the ability and strength to bridge the barrier between the experts and the mortals.

P.S.
You can see the full code of the application in the attachment.The logic is not much different than U++ or Glade or other linux tools.

You can also take a look at the crosstab/pivot and graph creation at:
