Actually reading the InfoWorld article, they rated Backbase 1st as best Ajax Framework with 8.9 and Tibco last, out of four Frameworks evaluated.

Recommand a Visual AJAX IDE

It’s the best powerful visual AJAX IDE I’ve seen before. You can develope your web application in it just like what you do in VB or Delphi based on its powerful AJAX components libs. And it also support sourceinsight and it’s compatible with IE, Firefox and Maxthon. Above of all, it’s unrelevant with server side.

Here is free trial. http://eng.joyistar.com

[...] Ben and I had the pleasure of visiting TIBCO GI head quarters in the valley. They showed us their tools, and we got to interview Kevin Hakman about all things Ajax, including their recent announcement on pricing and features. [...]

TIBCO GI looks amazing. IDE itself works within the browser and a remarkable application by itself.
However, it looks like TIBCO GI is still Internet Explorer only. In the data sheets, they use the term “standard browser” but there is no mention of which browsers are supported.
Some of the articles about the product announcement state that IE is the only browser but Firefox is “on the way”. Being IE only, pretty much limits the product to intranet applications. Anyone has an idea when the Firefox support will be available?

Hi Kingsley. Totally understand and we will work to let in free addresses. We adhere to laws about exporting the software and hence do MK Denial checks (mandated). The free domains were causing some problems and kicking back a bunch of exceptions, which we are going to fix and clear up soon.

On capturing title, that is a good point and I’ll see if we can do away with that. We will continue to work hard to prove our developer commitment. The input is very well appreciated.

Scott Fingerhut: I’m sure you have a good product (the screencast looks interesting), but why do you require a “non-free” email address to download a developer version? And don’t get me started on that registration form – “Title” is a required field! To me it appears as if you are not really serious about the developer edition.

Excellent point and happy someone finally brought it up. We hope the fact that GI has been formally independently reviewed and so have other tools (backbase as well) by InfoWorld will help clarify things. In fact, GI had the highest score and won InfoWorld’s “Best AJAX Toolkit.” I think that is truth in advertising. I’d like to see how the other guy backs up their claims. Also, it is nice to have a legal department that doen’t let you get away with anything like that without proof. Can’t say the same thing about some competitors.

So now we have a problem: TIBCO GI is apparently the “#1 Rated AJAX Framework and IDE” and Backbase is also apparently the “#1 AJAX Development Framework” (marketdroid-ish all-caps theirs, not mine).

I see only one way out of this mess: proprietary DHTM…erm..AJAX cage match!

Smart business move. However, I think we all know Tibco is taking the addictive / dependant business model approach. No doubt if they can capture over 50% of the market share, Tibco will be increasing costs, and reducing capabilities for the “free” download and use folks. Hey, this is the result of their blood, sweat and tears. They have a right to jack prices later. I’m just not interested. I’m more interested to see what the DOJO on AOL CDN effort provides the world.
