I wrote one of the few, not the only.
And how many happy Eiffel users are here. Everytime i post one of my
negative
comments i get personal emails that tell me i'm right. Maybe many of
your 50
co-workers are scared to say anything about there working condition?

Yes but they are cannibalising the community with all there stupid
incompatibilities
and wrong and endless discussions about important things. Hey there we
still have a discussion about "semantics" of the threading
implementation for eiffel. Hello this is >15 years under discussion
now. No nobody seems to realize that this is a simple proof that they
failed. Point.
Since the release of ECMA Eiffel everything is getting worse. No
Halstenbach, No Visual Eiffel, No SmartEiffel anymore (they are now
more and more moving to there own Loria-Eiffel). My hope that Gobo's
Eiffel compiler can build a bridge is also vanished, for several
reasons.

Well you should know how difficult it is to cleanup an inhouse project
so that is of any value for other persons. I could upload the tar file
tomorrow, but it won't help anybody just cost me time. I don't believe
the "open source the code and you will find people helping you" mantra.
