Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Powerbuilder Version 6.5
Review: Powerbuilder 6.5 is a robust client server development software. It has not got any new features for client server development than version 6.0. They have concentrated more on Web development and distributed processing. If you are into web development then you may purchase this software Other wise stick with powerbuilder 6.0

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: PowerBuilder 6.5 certainly has its problems
Review: While the language itself is not all that bad (in some aspects its actually quite good). The compiler itself is hindered by a multitude of bugs and idiosyncrasies that make your average developer start foaming at the mouth.

If you intend on buying this product, be prepared to develop a one to one relationship with Powersoft/Sybase's support department...some of the problems are solved by applying patches, but yet some remain because 'we wish to retain compatibility with the previous (bugged) versions'...frustrating response to say the least...

I hope they get it right next time, would be a shame if it was canned (by developers considering dropping the language), as i said its quite a good language (and it is, honest), just a crap compiler.
