This won’t be the case for beginners but the point of being a beginners is to have the opportunity to stick with a language and before an advanced user…at which point you require different things from the platform. The reality is I’m a 10X developer in VS as opposed to working in XOJO in many situations. Create projects to organize my code and allow easy sharing between projects.

Change name of a property and have it update globally, no problem.

When I want to add a few properties to a new method it takes no time. When I work in VS I get wonderful code completion and my mistakes are highlighted as I type them, before I run my project. Very few languages are as tied to a single IDE as XOJO. Why not leverage that to provide another option for professionals that use XOJO along with other languages? as an example look at how Xamarin works with VS and X-Code. It also has the ability to support languages like XOJO. A lot has change and it, along with VS code, is now a cross platform tool that support multiple languages.

One thing I come away with after all this time is that the XOJO IDE is not well suited for professional developers when compared to a product like Visual Studio.ġ0 years ago VS was an expensive windows only, limited language tool. I’ve been using Realbasic/Xojo for over 10 years now and there are good things and bad things like all frameworks, languages, software.
