The first question is whether you have a license for it. OEA is a separately licensed product.

 

[shireeshn]

yes i have.

Unfortunately it has it's faults too.

Most people I know prefer OE Architect over the AppBuilder. That does not mean that the OE Architect is the best thing for everybody.

If you maintain legacy code which was generated in the AppBuilder then you need to be careful. Most of the "fancy" functionality in the AppBuilder (the section editor for example) are based on instructions which are generated into the code as comments and are interpreted by the AppBuilder . If you fiddle with them or accidentally delete them you won't be able to open your source code in the section editor again.

Especially, if you develop applications based on ADM2 or Dynamics you might consider to stay with the AppBuilder.

Other than that I don't see any reason to not switch to the OE Architect although the OE Architect (as well as any other development environment I happen to be familiar with) has it's issues.

HTH, RealHeavyDude.

The question is: What do you want to do with it?

Like RHD said: if you are using adm/adm2 or legacy appbuilder code then it might be handy to use the appbuilder.
If you have no restrictions go for eclipse. There are lots of nice things you can do with it.

Just to add to it:

If you decide to stay with the AppBuilder you will miss a lot of functionality that you expect to be there in a mondern development environment. There is a sort of cure: You can enhance the functionality of the AppBuilder dramatically with ABHack which is available for download from PSDN.

HTH, RealHeavyDude.
