Hi Tommy, no I do not agree with your sentiment to be honest with you. Is Wappler perfect as yet, well no it isn’t, however i fully think that Wappler and their team are ready and able to achieve what they have set out to do.
Personally I also feel that it fully depends on what you are expecting of the application, it will never be as simple as WordPress with a quick purchased theme, for a throw together website, however for me i am a pain by nature and only ever code my sites from a blank white page within a text editor, it is time consuming and sometimes silly of me to even do, but unless i do it, I can never be satisfied that everything is exactly as I want it to be. For me I am using Wappler to get all the basic stuff done 10 times quicker than normal, and with almost every alteration i make i check the code, 99% of the time it is coded exactly how i would have manually written it. Wappler is a great product for me, but maybe not for you, and maybe not for certain others and your/their expectations depending on what your/their normal workflow has been till now.
I backed the product for one reason alone, Dreamweaver looked as though they were never going to fully natively support simple creation of server side and client side code/scripting. When they began I was forced to use Interakt for that, then they took over Interakt and killed it, then i moved onto DMXZone to get the job done, and have always been happy with the products they produce, however at the same time I have always know that the Adobe products have been limiting their efforts, I felt and still feel that a single company such as Wappler / DMXZone giving a fully featured application supporting design / layout / server side / client side / and frameworks is the best way to go for our own future. This means I have a single point of success or failure that I can speak to when things go wrong.
Secondly the idea of a community forum like this where I can have a say as to what I want in an application is amazing, I never had a say in Adobe products, Interakt products, or any other application for that matter, I had to use what they supplied and work around what i did not like.
Anyway I just wanted to give you my thoughts on it so you are aware that i for one am not part of the “think all can agree” group you mention above, and have full faith that this product will be great once all the little bugs and irritations have been sorted out, however i am already using it daily, and so far most of what i want to do is achievable.
