I rarely post here, but proactively follow the IDL community. I must
say I agree with David’s overall take on the IDL situation, as judged
from his current posts on the VM and the current release plans IDL 8.

I have recently been developing a commercial application with partners
in the EU, and let me tell you that this is a PAIN! Having them
download any IDL from outside the US has been difficult (the website
is a mess), the licensing has been obtuse at best, and support from
the sales department is…well lacking.

ITTVIS does a very poor job in general at explaining the differences
and pricing options of run-time licensing vs embedded etc. I wish
someone could explain it all to me. Not to mention, I wish IDL would
REALLY focus on cross-platform compatibility. Suffice to say, I hope
IDL 8.0 at least makes an attempt to address the issues so many of us
seem to have.
