And the learning curve is too long. Unfortunately not all are lucky as you, since i can't dump NewEra because i am not developing for my own company but for client(which my company already sign contract). I am using Powerbuilder at Home and it was far better and more easier. I learned it myself not like New Era, despite going for many classes its all like never ending story and the learning curve is longer compared to Powerbuilder.
