I tried a bit OutSystems and its learning curve is incredibly steep for what they claim to be. It all starts with a specialized Eclipse based environment to install and to learn and only goes downhill from there. I don't know any business user able to use it, and for a regular programmer it's just another language/environment to learn. Not sure why it's a thing.
- Raidion 5y agoI interviewed as a developer for a company that used outsystems. They said they had a lot of technology challenges, but were going to stick with outsystems. Their flagship app is rated less than 2.5 stars on Google Play, and needless to say, I did not pursue that position.
- cjmsousa 5y ago[Disclaimer: OutSystems employee here] I'm sad you find the experience bad. Eclipse or VSStudio integrations is part of our focus on being able to extend the platform to the max, but the need for it is only required when you are at a very specific use case. I'd advice you to take another look. For example take a look at this tutorial (https://www.outsystems.com/training/courses/124/reactive-ui-development-101/ https://www.outsystems.com/training/courses/124/reactive-ui-...) and see everything you can build with OutSystems.... without Eclipse :)

- devhammer 5y agoHey...I'm a developer advocate at OutSystems, and just wanted to note that since earlier this year, our development tool, Service Studio, is available for both Mac and Windows. Also happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
