[AccessD] are PowerApps destined to fly?

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

Arthur --

Yes, Alpha Anywhere looks currently as a superior alternative but its price is too high for me.
And it's a niche produce in my opinion.
Still remember how far superior DataFlex 3.0 failed to compete with MS Access 1.x.

And  "Microsoft To Surpass 100 Million Office 365 Users in 2017"  https://www.petri.com/office-365-85-million-monthly-active-users   - where would it be more probable to make a small fortune or at least to get contracted/employed ?
