The major difference between them is that VADS is a command line driven compiler and Apex a integrated development enviroment. Besides that Rational tells that VADS is in the phase "end of life" which means they will stop to maintain it some time soon. ....and sell the MUCH more expensive Apex only. ;-) Right now we're evaluating the possibility to switch from VADS to Apex in our company. Apex has a VADS-view which provides full compatibility with source code made for VADS. Our first experiences show that besides some minor problems this works good.
