> To have support.
One of the reasons we don't use Gnat is that we find more than 10 bugs in
Gnat for just one (with easy workaround)  in Objectada or Apex.
Good support is nothing if you spend more time with the support than with
your actual work ...
May be that is specific to our code, but we work with our code ...

> There is no support for this one, right ? If you find a bug...
Up to now, no problem ... Don't worry for us, we'll cry for help if needed
:-)
Once again, from the customer side, support doesn't mean paying and working
for your vendor more than for yourself ...

We have more than 15 years experience in commercial software ...
We have been ACT customers, and know people being currently ACT customers
May be we are stupid, but as we are responsible for what we do, please let
us decide what is good for us :-)

You talk about ACT, I talk about Ada, that is the point.
