So, IMHO, the products are different products with different purposes. NewEra is a tool for developing business applications ("working horses"), and HST is a tool for developing integrated presentation applications. It is possible to develop a _real_ application under NewEra without any coding (not all types of applications, but a lot). IMHO NewEra will substitute 4GL in GUI workplaces. The style of NewEra development is similar to VisualBasic style. HyperScript provides another style of development. (I like HST's style). You draw interfaces only. But you have to program every action with a database (except SQL Direct entry when you connect a worksheet and a table).
