- I have used both zApp and Delphi. I find Delphi more productive,
- in terms of getting useful results more quickly. However, zApp
- is more comprehensive in many ways. I guess that results from a
- more comprehensive class library -- it just has more feature
- (at least I think so -- I've never actually compared them feature
- for feature).
-
- Because it is more simple, I think a developer can get up to speed
- more quickly with Delphi. The versions of zApp I worked with didn't
- have any database classes (like TTable or TQuery), so if you want
- to build database applications, Delphi seems the more logical choice.
-
- Delphi seems less troublesome than zApp. At least, I have run into
- very few problems using it. With zApp, it seemed I had to spend a lot
- of time examining the class library source code to find out how things
- really worked. I've done this with Delphi too, but more out of curiosity
- than because I had to do so.
-
- Please don't assume I am knocking zApp. It's a very good product and
- is very nicely architected. What's more, it is portable between a
- number of platforms. Overall, I was pleased with it.
