And its disappointing. The worst part is I dont know if any of the people I’ve talked to that have said this have even bothered saying so to Xojo Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe they have just given up ? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While 2020r1 finally shipped, after what I believe is a record delay between major point 0 releases, reports I’ve had are that even though desktop didn’t change that much its not usable when moving a sizeable project from older 2019 releases. I havent tried moving any of my client projects yet. I’ve opened them and run to see they run but didnt do any work to “update” them as I keep seeing API 2 issues being reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And so I’ve heard “I think this might be the death of Xojo in our company.” at least 4 times from long time developers in the past 2 weeks – during the betas as they saw what was coming and now after the release finally came out. At least 4 products and their development teams (no idea in total how many developers that might be) are moving away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That cant be good for Xojo as these sort of users typically have an investment that, once moved to something else, means they are never coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And thats the kind of conversation I’ve had with these users. That they are moving their entire product away from Xojo for a variety of reasons – usually it amounts to “unsafe for my business to be based on this unreliable product” or some variation of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thats disappointing to hear. A lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
EDIT : Before this post even published I got word of 2 more that have decided to move to “something else”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
EDIT 2 : Another has mentioned their discussion isn’t “Should we move” but “What should we move to ?”. The decision to leave has been made and they are evaluating what to move to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
