Exactly the choice that is in my head too. The JS Client is nice but its
not a technology that currently interests me a lot. With where Apple
seems to be headed I much rather see a continuation of enhancements in
the fat client and as I’ve said many times before, hopefully some day an
iOS runtime which should be within our grasps now that Studio 8 has seen
the Mac OS X client rewritten.I believe it is even inevitable as I think
we’ll soon see iMacs or similar devices running iOS. The JS Client I
presume will remain a large part of Omnis’ future seeing how successful
it has been bringing in new opportunities but I hope the company will
see chances in the fat client and improving the middle tier capabilities
also helps the JS client so that one is a given. The question for us is,
will it be in time? Right now the most likely future for us seems to be
using Omnis as a front end but another tool for the middle tier. The
choice is not made however 🙂
That all said, I can only underline how enthusiastic I am for the change
of direction Omnis has shown. It’s definitely a matter of giving them
time for this to start showing fruits. It takes awhile before a new
direction gains momentum but I think we’ll be seeing some exciting new
things soon.
Cheers,
Bas
