That was a good read - liked the balance, and agree with his description of the ideal product, which is very close to mine. I don't need a desktop product, as long as it can run on premises and in the environment's native browser and meets the user's expectations in terms of the UI.

I'd add the option of commercial hosting and support to that list, which led me to Budibase - great product, although in the end I was left feeling "no code - but so many clicks!", although I have not gone back to look at v2. https://budibase.com/

The author might care to take a look at Saltcorn, which is in the "Goldilocks" zone for me - enough of everything, not too much of anything. I should write that up myself. https://saltcorn.com/

(edited to add line re. web vs. native)
