- I don't consider Prograph a replacement for Bedrock although it may be a
- replacement for MacApp. I have a love/hate relationship with MacApp. I like
- what it does for me, I get irritated by what it sometimes does to me. I
- suspect Prograph is similar. The paradigm shift is real but I think somewhat
- overblown. If you are going quality work, most of it will be done in design,
- not coding. Whatever horn of plenty the paradigm shift gives us, it is giving
- it to us in the least productive (and least interesting) part of engineering.

- Prograph can't be a replacement for BedPebbles (they ain't rocks yet) unless
- it becomes a cross development tool. I'm not aware I can develop on a Mac
- under Prograph for that accursed evil-empire inspired machine, the PC. Now,
- if you folks could pull that off, I for one would be happy to star in the
- commercial selling that snake-oil. Might even take some hints from Pepsi
- commercials....
