Because it is older style technology and is fairly tightly coupled to Oracle AS and DB. Basically, comparing Forms and VB is like trying to compare apples and oranges. They are just different.

Please, other people, have your say. At least, just throw a single line as to why you feel they are different, or less popular.

(Sorry for my English.)

Dev2k vs VB
-----------
OOP :
Dev2k : No
VB : Yes
Tables, records, relations behave :
Dev2k : Excellent
VB : Difficult
Third party add-on (OCX, ...):
Dev2k : Difficult
VB : Ok
Client/Server deployment :
Dev2k : Dev runtime( Difficult, Dev runtime environment fees, Discontinued support)
VB : Executable file
3Tiers deployment :
Dev2k : Web forms (Oracle enforces system's migration upon customers)
VB : .NET
....
Let's to details.
-----------
What is Oracle should do ?
-----------
In my opinion, the most important, Oracle should support Client/Server again. Release Dev7i, Dev8i with strong support OCX.
-----------
And more .... ?

What I hope will happen is that people will start to use Oracle HTML_DB.
