While skeptical, I saw the value and proceeded. But after too many
technical problems and support headaches, I'm back to thinking its better to
just write by hand. Also, the risk of making a 3rd party product the
cornerstorn of your development technologies is high, I think.

So now we're going to look at another vendor "K2". While I'm open-minded,
I'm still firmly back to writing it all myself. Given Team Database Pro and
Windows Communication Foundation, I also now have even better tools to work
with.

If there was a 3rd party tool that all my fellow Microsoft developers
embraced and were using, then I wouldn't be so reluctant/hesitant.

Thoughts/comments?

One other concern is that they could drive your technical agenda. I
noticed a link to the VS2003 version, and they've suspended
development on it. That rules it out for me as I'm still commercially
using 1.1 (not my choice). It's another factor that's worth thinking
about. Do you want to be driven to the next framework as fast of
possible, or woud you rather set that agenda? Do you have customers
that might need 1.1 builds and/or can you drive the adoption of a new
framework if it's internal?
What priority do 2003 bug fixes get? Lower than the new framework
would be my guess.
None of this may be relevant, just trying to be thorough :)
