Hmm.. Used to be truer than now. But people like me who deeply understand what
can be accomplished with GeneXus, and fully believe in Open Source, are changing
the point of focus of future versions of GeneXus. Most of the current focus is
MS related. But recent decision to support PostgreSQL, as the fifth database
shows renewal. Also, I would add that C/SQL is as a good thing as Java depending
on what must be built.
