I still use vi for bulk edits of source files -- these days that's Java and JSPs. I use it because I learned it back in the '80s and just kept using it. Speaking of JSPs, there is a quiet revolution going on with those tools. Maybe Inprise has a chance after all with their Application Server.

I am being too coy: this could launch the company if they do it right: Java Page Server with built-in IDE that edits JSPs visually and lets you drop beans right on the page. I can hear the cash register ringing now and Microsoft won't have anything to answer with but ASP -- can you say Visual Basic? I heard some less-than-thrilling things about BEA in a meeting today. It's second-hand and confidential so I can only say that the door is still wide open for Inprise. That was news to me but what I heard was very compelling and it involved a configuration of Apache and Inprise servers. Did I just say that? Holy cow. I'm actually feeling upbeat about Inprise. Somebody stop me.

There is a problem in that it's easy to do this all wrong and they cannot use their past documentation efforts as a guide: disaster. If they offer high-level HTML beans they're sunk. If they offer only low-level beans they're sunk. The real solution is low- to medium-level beans that ship with high-level beans as fully-documented applications of their low-level stuff. A complete roadmap and sample set that can bring you online quickly. Some people will use HTML editors for all the pages, others will use pre-fabricated beans for all the pages, others will use a combination. If this isn't making any sense, it will in about six months when JSP is recognized as the next big thing in dynamic content servers.
