Yes, the ability to change code while debugging it is the main <extra bold> unique selling point </extra bold> of Omnis
!!! No Java, Python, JS, PHP environment comes even close to this unique feature. There are 2 others :
- Omnis IDE delivers you out of the box several dozens of standard and design libraries ready to use, tested and
integrated, and they maintain it for decades. To get the same features with a Java, Python, JS, PHP environment you
gonna have to pile up a lot of external frameworks and libraries prior to code your first line. And then, congrats, you
are now personally in charge of dealing with the rapid obsolescence and scary safety issues of each of these bits of
code for the next 10 years
- Omnis let you truly develop and deploy on 3 operating systems with a single codebase (although we have lost the linux
development version, which I hope we'll get back soon). I work on Macos only, and i daily fix, enhance and redeploy apps
that run solely on Windows or Linux on corporate sites where Macs are unwelcome. Once the proper initial setup is done,
I don't need to test my work on the deployment platform anymore : if it works on my Mac, it will work seamlessly on my
clients Windows or linux boxes
