It was written to look nice on a Win3.1 platform (since it's mostly 2D, with some 3D objects). Since D2000 is already 3D and the next version isn't due for a while, NewEra clearly stands more to gain in the interface department, since it will be an up-to-date 3D environment. No matter what the D2000 update is like, it won't improve the interface much, if at all, since it is already Win95-like. When discussing the capabilities of the two platforms, the Oracle guys concede a lot to NewEra, including the points I mentioned earlier, like compiled C++ code, integrating easily with C++, a better report tool, application partitioning, etc. I conceded that the D2000 interface (for the user) was better, BUT THAT WON'T BE THE CASE SOON.
