Justin, I've been dabbling for a while with AlphaFive, and I really like that IDE. I just came across this post regarding Outsystems, which I am not familiar with. Can you summarize the differences between the two platforms for me?

I see that there is a big difference in pricing models, but that may or may not equate to the same level of difference in functionality. From the little bit I've read about Outsystems so far, it reminds me somewhat of the late great Forte application development platform. Forte was much more than just an IDE - it provided a full application deployment and management environment; although, it was designed primarily for distributed client-server apps, and was adjusting to the Web world when it was acquired and ultimately wasted by Sun Microsystems.

So anyway, if you could write up a short comparison of these two products, I think it would be a great help.

Thanks,
Lou
