CodeCharge Studio - A Decent RAD Tool

I've been using CodeCharge Studio (http://www.codecharge.com/) from Yes Software. I'm four months into the learning curve now.

I'm putting finishing touches (tonight in fact) on production rev of a 45-screen, 40-table JSP application written entirely in CodeCharge.

It's windows-based; proprietary and relatively expensive @ $500/seat; but takes all the shit-shoveling out of JSP apps.

Oh, but there's more....

VB-like GUI, complete with form design, built-ins like Grids and Editable grids with search and paging; complete pre-fab XML-based doc/view model; Wizards to build browse-grids and Add/Edit/Del forms by reading a DB schema.

The code-generator has a facility for assigning custom code to events and preserving custom code on regen's.

And the killer? Will generate ASP, .NET, Perl, PHP, JSP (all w/ or w/out HTML templates) working against MySQL, Postgres, SQLServer or Oracle. Oh, and it can generate JSP for any of Tomcat 4/5, Resin, or Weblogic.

(Cheaper "personal editions" are available that only target one language).

CCS also supports client-side JavaScript events (pre-fab and custom). Testing against IE6/Firefox on Windows, and IE5.2/Firefox/Safari on Mac, I'm rather pleased with browser-compatibility across the board. Did I mention full CSS stylesheet support? ;-)

I got a license three months ago, went through an ulcer-inducing 2-week learning curve, but haven't looked back since.

If it supported PostNuke and/or Drupal-specific PHP output I'd be in heaven.
