We've been using FourGen's CASE Tools for several years also and I must say, the newer version's of the tools keep getting better ( we are up to 4.12 of their CASE tools). Sure it might take a little "custom" programming to get a program to perform like you want, but those changes can be easily implemented into the code via trigger and extension files. That gives you the strength of "regenerable code" and also one hell of a revision control system. Yeah, it might be bulky to work around at times, but the way the CASE tools enforce modularity among your programs, the flow of a program is predicatble.
