Статья булшит, а камменты жгут:

Data By DesignFirst, there are no bench marks. Second there is little to no developer program. Third, there is little if any media coverage. Fourth, there is no marketing. So how will a product, database or other, ever succeed in the market if it is not marketed or these other basics never developed? No market buzz. No new generation of developers. No passion in the few bread crumbs of marketing.

Nothing.

Informix is destined to end up on the scrap heap of superior technology that never went anywhere, floundering in a sea of lost opportunities, and no vision from its caretakers.

IBM needs to sell off Informix to allow it to leap forward. Now that Informix has a lot of new features, the time is ripe to allow it to flourish, out from under the oppressive, idiotic thumb of IBM and its legion of incompetent managers. IBM sycophants and corporate politicians will never allow Informix to grow in the market, it just ain't gonna happen, either through deliberate attempts to sabotage its success, or through plain incompetence.
