I started using EWB in 2014 and hope to see further innovation in year 10! However it is mature and elegant as is - a refreshing antidote to the mainly leviathan alternatives.

I started using it in 2016 and now, in biggest company where i build apps, ewb apps are the best performances and the best user experience apps.
I realized my first web app in some weeks using old MS Visual studio 10 backend. No comparison, no competitors did better!
EWB is one of the better tool for doing web apps in clear and easy way. Like did Borland with their tools in 80's.
I like releases that simply works like Tim's, better than unfinished tools with weekly patch downloads.
Thanks Tim

Still using and no plans to change. I wrote software to manage advising, and career and academic planning for our students at my college in EWB and it is still going strong. Working on the next version due in January now.

While I don;t have a scientifically accurate number, I know there is interest because the number of unique visitors to my EWB web pages which covers the subset who read this list or are searching about EWB topics.  

It's an average of 1,200 unique people per month lately, less in the summer.  Some of those are web crawlers, but mostly people. And I see spikes when I post new blog entries.

I lost hope that this product would come back to life. My biggest regret is that there is no longer Delphi for PHP, client and server in one.
Now I'm interested in https://www.xojo.com/
You can download a free, fully working version. The license cost is similar to Elevate Web Builder.

Greetings to everyone

I use Web Builder from time to time on one hand and the Elevate DB Manager on the other in order to gain a better understanding of both. Since the Web Builder was intended to serve as a valuable add-on for web desktop like applications, it's fair to say, it goes beyond just this.

There are definitely pros
a) the product is well integrated in summary over all steps from buildings web frontends to deployment to the server
b) Maybe a debugger for the client side will be added one day. As far as I heard once Internet Explorer's successor is a valid option. In practice the absence of such a well integrated debugging facility doesn't hurt me.

I know all similar alternative from DBASE 2019, the one mentioned shortly before, Smart Mobile (Pascal), interested in Quartex Pascal too but had no time or nerves strong enough for another Alpha and waited until a Lennard setup a company.

Last time in case of Smart Mobile criminals put pressure on the author to hand over the product and this was very hefty, but finally the couple who implemented the product succeeded in putting the product back on a viable path. Lessons learned. There was a certain period of confusion short before the product release and Quartex Pascal not even on any horizon.

I'm a Morfik 'victim' too and even if the idea was great, the head of this company acted odd, when show started to go bust.

So I started to investigate EWB and honestly I think the people here are great, even if silent, the author seems busy coding. I didn't expect more than announced by I think Tim Young, who will not get younger on his 'old' days. I personally prefer the built for what it was announced to do.

In the area of web solutions that's better than too cultish like Morfik, even if little early and great in general indeed but maybe too great. The day Tim Young said, 'Web developers use editors so use the tab to indent your code, because anything else will bloat the editors logic', I thought, 'This guy has balls and the right adjustment/mettle'. Adjust the code on your own, you will know better. That's correct.

It's no surprise that having a focus on the databases and not the add-on product matters, even if the 'add-on product' goes beyond and can be used outside this context.

It takes a while to get to know Web Builder by heart. Implementing the debugging protocol regarding the base of the Google browser is really lot's of work and in general debugging what's executed make sense. Debugging the server side works great so far.

The problem with moving such products further away from a specific purpose opens up the gates of hell to different world, since different kinds of application tend to move apart from the perspective of the devices used as well as technology or the way the are built by a quickly moving and beyond steady changing developer base (in the community).

I personally really use EWB more or less in a hobbyist fashion. The help is well done and interestingly the Elevate DB Manager also offers a well integrated help of a somehow similar kind too. After no longer counting Delphi versions I'm a big fan of nifty ideas rather than great visions.

What the?  Criminals demanding their source code?  That's insane.
