    As someone who had that misfortune to work woth their products, this tracks just great. Honestly. I’ve used their Apex and SQL developer. Both of them are unintuitive to use, inconsistent, lacking features, and just a complete resource hogs in their own ways. Makes me wonder how they are still keeping themselves afloat, considering the abhorrent state and quality their products are.

      Ancient service contracts with companies who wouldn’t be able to afford migrating to a new ecosystem. That’s all that’s keeping most of these older tech companies afloat.
