I think you are quite right. Unfortunately, I also think that notion of good is not necessarily the same for a software engineer and a software user. That is certainly part of the explanation. If you want Ada to be used by companies, it's better to follow the notion of good according to users who are not computers fans, but are companies customers. Personally I think that Oracle products and not really bad ones ... I must also aknowledge that my small home computer which is an old Pentium 150 which I never tur on more than 15mns a day is under Win98 For the use I make of it, It works well enough, and using another OS would make me loose time for things I'm not interested in. I'm the first convinced of the qualities of Linux or others, but for me this PC is a tool and not a toy, and I won't spent even half an hour to change something on it since I'm satisfied with it. May be that's why Bill Gates is so rich ...
