Possibly. I knew I shouldn't have expressed a view. In general I would be
happy to use it as long as the surplus function does not get in the way.
I work as a software architect. We have this problem all the time. A package
has at the same time more and less function that we need.
If we can
- add the missing bits without too much angst AND
- ignore the surplus (often this is not easy)
then we will use it.
The question is, can you do better by starting from scratch? Others would have
the basis for a more informed view than I would.
Ignoring other issues from the commercial world such as vendor viability which
are not such an issue with free software. If Rildo goes bust Tiny COBOL will
live.
