I wouldn't have been *quite* so negative. The technical team for Apex is
intact and continuing development of their products. (Their participation in
the ARG and in the ARA should make that clear.) The problem is that they
don't have *anyone* assigned to marketing/selling Ada at IBM. (The last
dedicated Ada sales guy left last summer.) It's a side project for anyone in
sales there, and thus it's visibility is very low.

The question comes down to buying the technical team. I don't know of many
better than that at IBM/Rational for Ada, and their support is reported to
be excellent (my own experiences with Claw agreed with that).
