Hi.

I think one part of this is the marketplace. Employers seek to lower costs. One large cost is salaries. If you can hire people who can use GUI tools to produce applications that solve problems and do it in a short time, then you might decrease costs.

Indeed, hardware resources are extraordinarily low-cost these days, so the idea of optimized user-applications is not as important as producing tools to create quickly the end-user applications.

Is this good for the long-run? I think the experiment is not yet finished ... cheers, drl

NOTES

       The  Solstice Launcher adds or removes local applications that are private to the user (not local to the system) only.  The  properties	of
       globally  registered  applications  that are used by local and remote users sharing the software from a particular /opt directory cannot be
       modified from the  Solstice Launcher. To register global applications for use by local and remote users, use the soladdapp(1M) command.	To
       remove globally registered applications, use the soldelapp(1M) command.
