The Omnis Studio 4.3.1 release is very stable, and much faster in many areas. Support for the Mac OS look and feel is greatly improved. The product now support Postgres, has a useful application server and integrates with other systems via java and SOAP.

It continues to offer a built-in database but most developers will appreciate connectivity to Postgresql and MySQL, along with other popular databases such as OpenBase and Oracle.

Support improved tremendously after a management re-organization some years ago. These days the assistance is accurate and timely.

The Omnis programming "language" is easy to learn and follows a simple standard "dot" notation construct. It offers a robust set of methods and supports an accessible implementation of object oriented programming and architecture. In addition, it supports a large number of "4GL" style commands.

It offers a highly interactive debugger, with immediate "correct and run" at the heart of the tool set. Even with all the new tools available to developers, Omnis Studio 4.3.1 is a good choice for many projects.
