How is it that Rational is considered "old guard", yet Aonix is not?
After all, an incarnation of each of them was a bidder for the the Ada83
implementaion.
I suspect the endemic problem, *if indeed there is one*, is that
Rational's software engieering tools business has vastly overshadowed
their Ada business. Aonix's only other major business that I am aware of
is GUI builders and graphical software visualization tools. So instead
why not make the claim that each company's other business activities
color their approaches to problems in the Ada world? So Rational tries
to bludgen to death every problem with external software tools, while
Aonix spends an immense amount of effort on a nice GUI front end for
everything, yet doesn't bother to provide mundane stuff like
optimization options.
Averstar and ACT are newer, but that really just means that their main
corporate focus is still on their compilers.
Its a theory...
