		<description><![CDATA[Hi Jason, 

I don&#039;t agree with you completely.
They write also: &quot;we believe Oracle APEX may be a good choice for some Oracle-centric AD organizations for new, simple applications that might have otherwise been written in Oracle Forms instead.&quot;

There might be cases where Apex could be a possible solution path, but a lot of Forms applications are more complicated, so other technologies are more suited.  

But like I said, it depends on the application.
My colleagues have rebuild a Forms application in Apex.  They did a presentation about this case on the OGH Apex day: &quot;Is APEX a worthy substitute for Orcle Forms?&quot; (http://iadviseblog.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/ogh-apex-dag-2012/).
Instead of a pure migration, they rebuild the application and revised the UI, so it would be more intuitive.

Indeed, Apex is one of the possible migration paths, but not in all cases.
I also agree with Gartner that ADF(and the Oracle Fusion stack) is more suited for complex applications.

In any case, thank you for your comment.

		<description><![CDATA[The Gartner report under represents Oracle Apex in my opinion and I&#039;ve done production Forms, OAF, Apex, and investigated  opensource JEE and also JDeveloper 11g R2 ADF.

&quot;No team development&quot; in Apex.  Come on.  Did they even look at the tool?]]></description>
