What RAD tools are out there? [closed]

Question

Delphi RAD Studio and Lazarus IDE for pascal/delphi language.

WAVEMAKER is the best rad tool ever built.What you said can be done in a couple of hours.

It depends on who your market is. I can tell you one thing, your market will never consist of the whole of mankind. So that fact that maybe 25% of the people on the planet don't use Windows shouldn't really matter to you.

What matters to you is how many people in your market use whatever OS? If you're writing a business/financial application and you only develop for Windows, then you're probably only leaving out about .05% of your market (because when is the last time you heard of an Accountant that uses Macs or Linux?).

However, if you're writing a program for producing music (like FruityLoops) and you write Windows only then you're probably leaving out more like 50% of your market.

Microsoft Lightswitch. It is hard to imagine anything "more rapid".

Magic uniPaas: used it at my very first job to develop GUI's. It's a no nonsense RAD Tool, where everything is table based. It also provides a runtime environment. Back then it was called Magic eDeveloper.

I guess that WinDev follows the RAD idea,too.

Note: Runs only on Windows, prices start at EUR 990. Comes with a wide range of tools.

Visual Studio - Hands down the best RAD studio there is. If you think that it is not only used for Microsoft's development tools, Delphi Prism uses it, and the SQL Management tools for SQL Server all use it you get an idea of the flexibility of it. It's also free (The RAD tool/IDE - not the development tool).
