Version: Visual DataFlex 8.0
"Good for non-critical database development."
Pros: It's very easy to use and has a good interface for design and development. It gives new meaning to rapid application development. Full scale applications can be created in very little time. This is a great tool for business managers and administrative staff to create simple applications.
Cons: The company that provides it seems to always be a few steps behind the times when it comes to updated technology. They force you to buy runtime licenses for every user that runs the application. You are also forced to pay additional runtime license fees to connect to higher level database engines, such as MySQL and SQL Server. Built in database is highly proprietary and needs to be reindexed and repaired frequently. Bugs are usually fixed in next major releases, in which you have to pay to get. Programs are compiled with the runtime embedded in the EXE which creates larger than needed files.
Definately not designed for large enterprise wide applications.

Version: Visual DataFlex 8.0
"From a relatively new VDF programmer..."
Pros: You can create basic database applications in minutes. (literally)
But, do realise this is version *8*
version 8 is at LEAST 3 years old. if you really want to try this software out I suggest you get the latest from Data Access directly. it has come a long way in 3 years. we are at version 11 (as of this writing) and version 11.1 is in beta.
Overall, for basic to intermediate database applications this software is like no other.
Cons: licensing, you need a runtime to distribute an application
additional backends need ODBC drivers, which add to your costs.
