I haven't worked with Oracle's Developer 2000 yet, but from the information available it seems like application partitioning is better in New Era (from ver. 2.0). You can move functions to the server in Oracle's tool, but they become stored procedures executed (interpreted) by the Oracle database as far as I can understand. In New Era partitions are compiled code so you don't need a database server on each machine. Also you have much greater flexibility in what can be executed (typically whole or parts of class libraries doing advanced computing). Also as far as I understand there is no object orientation in Developer 2000. Which is best in their GUI tools and fast prototyping I don't know.
