And? Removing VStudio, cleaning up preferences and install VStudio was  
a 5 Minutes ready to go task. I once did a remote installation of a  
full package of vServer, VStudio and my app via voice communication  
only and this task was done in less then half an hour.

So perhaps we talk about 1hour a week for upgrade maintenance, I'm  
afraid I spend more time a week drinking a coffe, or a second.

And when talking about crashes, lost work, ... I spend ways more time  
to battle with REALbasic, then with Valentina at all.

I entered the Valentina boat "back" in January 2007 and 4 weeks later  
I've finished porting one of my biggest apps. Due to many virtual  
tables I need for my framework we talk about 120+ tables. All done  
with polishing mySQL dump, import, re-design, fine tuning,  
installation, administration, ... of course VStudio 2.7, 2.8., ... all  
have quirks and issues. All are reported or discussed via chat, all  
are solved.

And I did the job, migrated after this one several more client,  
deployed 4 completely new applications, do remote management of DBs in  
Barcelona and New York, ... all this with VStudio 3.1 and up

So perhaps you was not able to use vStudio, but VStudio was usable for  
sure!
