I hope this is an appropriate place to ask "pre-purchase" questions of existing users; if not, please accept my appologies.

If it is appropriate - a sincere thanks in advance for any help, I know your time is valuable.

Our background:
Many years programming experience in client/server environment with Visual Foxpro.
Some experience utilizing VFP against MS SQL, a little VB experience.
No web programming experience.

Our Search:
Need a web development tool. Have reviewed many - down to:
Aware IM, Servoy, Ironspeed, Alpha Five, ROR, and of course .net.
Of these Aware IM and Ironspeed are the only 'generative' programs.
If I had to choose today, it would be either:
Servoy: more coding - but not afraid of 'hitting the wall'
or
Aware IM: more automatic generation - but afraid of 'hitting the wall'
( maybe less debugging?? ooh ya! )

The more we look at Aware Im, the more it seems to have the bases covered, but before we invest more time, I was hoping for some feedback from current users/developers.

Questions:
Are Custom forms hard to build? Do most people utilize the automatic forms?
How automatic is any AJAX functionality.
To utilize document interface with MS Word, must you be running IIS?
Any CSS behavior?
Noticed in form messages that changing from Derby to MySQL requires some (a lot?) of work - why would this be?
Any speed issues with Aware IM in general - or a specific database?
Anyone built a 'large' system? Say - more than 30 tables, and lots of menus and submenus.

---- THE KEY QUESTION ----
Really don't want to learn another programming language (Java or .net), we are hoping we can do 99% of tasks within Aware IM, without having to drop to coding - is this reasonable?

What do you consider the greatest strenght of Aware IM?
What do you consider the greatest weakness of Aware IM?

Thanks again.
