I recently upgraded to the latest verion of "REALbasic" and used it to write a small tool for internal use at work. Since the IDE no longer runs in the Mac OS, I switched to the Windows version with this upgrade. I didn't want to give up my license for the older Mac version, though, and Janet at REAL Software was nice enough to accomodate me by selling me a REALbasic 2005 Pro Windows license for half-off, while allowing me to retain my REALbasic 5.5 Pro Mac license. It's nice dealing with companies that actually care about their customers!
When I first saw the all in one window tabbed interface of the new version at REALworld 2004, I was skeptical. In practice it works really well, especially on Windows machines that only have one monitor.
I was able to complete my project in about one working day (although the time was actually spread across about four days), and most of that was deciding how I would implement undo. Pretty good for my first Windows app!
