I don't think anyone is _threatened_ by RAD tools. To be a threat, they would have to be better than the alternatives.... And they're not.... I have yet to see a RAD (as in point and click programming) tool that is actually more productive taking the entire lifecycle of a development project into consideration. The reason we're (I'm) so against it is having those tools pushed down our throats by some non-technology guy who just came home from a golf trip with someone from their software partner (btw: I'm not referring to you ;)... I would certainly welcome any tool that actually makes developing and maintaining web applications easier.
