So... it's more of an IDE for someone with some basic programmer experience, but who isn't a programmer?

It is sort of like the "Front Page" version of VS then?

@Rachel: It's like Intrexx, some sort of end-user programming with rich design time support, so you can click & play your business app without much technical knowledge. Works well for reporting and data transfers and for standard CRUD, but gets complicated once you have special requirements. The new VBA, just without Access?

It basically sounds like the form designer + VBA of Access rolled up with FrontPage.

@Wayne M: I'd heard a while ago that it was supposed to eventually take over Access's niche, though I haven't used it so I myself can't say if it's really comparable.
