The question is not whether BB _can_ be used to create freestanding applications, but how it is actually being used, and why. Some quotes from recent messages follow. What's going on here?
"We use BB at industry; basicaly as internal tool, our customers "love" our
tools but..."
"Bring me customers, whom you can convince that software based on BlackBox is
a great thing, ...."
"It seems obvious to me that convincing a customer about buying a solution
based on BlackBox
presumes the requirement for a very specialized application - maybe with
performace critical GUIs. Otherwise a customer might rather prefer a web
based solution that does not require the presence of any particular runtime
system."
"...but from this days to today we sold only 2 software packages written with BB. ...We don't sold "black boxes", in others words, 100% of project is client's proprietary and open source to the client; 0% of our clients accept a product over BB, even after use our tools written with BB,.... ...test tool was written using BB and customer project validation was using our tool, but the final application was written in C++...."
Sincerely,
Rex Couture
