I've never used or even seen ADEPT, however, an acquiantance has been
working extensively with it. We had a discussion a few days ago and he was
quite vituperative (woo! I get to use my vocabulary!). He is mostly an MS
Windows kind of guy, although he has used (and generally likes) FrameMaer on
UNIX.
