Hi Everyone:

I am a developer that only uses WAA 1.9 because web apps are my 
preferred delivery platform.
I have read with interest the many varied issues with Xbase++ 2.0 
reported by developers in this forum.

1. What has been the experience of anyone who creates web apps with the 
new 2.0 CXP software?
3. What has the conversion from WAA 1.9 code been like?
4. What is the motive to upgrade to 2.0 when I can do everything in 1.9?

I don't use cxp so can't comment on that 

But where is your point 2.???

Basically I just compiled everything... done!

I wanted to switch to a Windows 2012 server running in a VM and 1.9 WAA
didn't even start on Win 2012.

Thank you, Thomas, the missing point 2 is:

2.  The desktop (Xbase++) apps only run on a network while the web (WAA) 
apps run from any device that has an internet connection.
Why would a developer choose to create desktop applications over web 
applications?

Some applications might have security reasons, speed might be an issue as
well.

Web applications are sometimes not very user friendly and if they are, it
adds massive complexity to the code.

Or, if you decide to not code the UI stuff yourself, you have to use tons
of 3rd party components (jQuery et al) that bloat the whole thing quite
significantly and makes it hard to track down bugs.
