I've been very immersed in vendor evaluation in recent years as I selected a web toolkit to build out some domain properties with.

As I worked through that process, one of the things that became clearly useful for a thorough evalution is to not only look at vendor-managed forums, but also discussions beyond those as well, such as social media, etc.

For Xojo, a thorough evaluation can benefit from visiting the forum for those who no longer feel comfortable having candid discussion in Xojo's own forum:

Caveat: I haven't and don't plan to use Xojo in the foreseeable future, so I'm not endorsing any of the opinions expressed there one way or another. Not having used the product, I can offer no informed opinion about the views of those forum members. But as a content strategist and community builder I monitor many product ecosystems, and have found the discussion there interesting from a sentiment mining standpoint if nothing else.
