If I may, I'd like to put in a plug for ORBit. DISCLAIMER: I am the
GNOME FAQ maintainer.
The GNOME project abandoned MICO and began the ORBit project for two
main reasons: MICO is a memory hog, and MICO is pretty deeply C++-only.
We took a serious look at fixing these problems with MICO, but could not
see a way to solve them. (I think that some of it had to do with MICO's
dependence on C++ templates, but I am not sure. I only know of this
evaluation second-hand.)
The ORBit developers intend on ORBit being fast, compliant, and
multi-lingual. They are right now working on C++ support so that our
KDE brothers can make use of ORBit and help us develop it.
Again, I am a GNOME partisan, but I really do think that ORBit is a
good choice and a reliable long-term investment. I encourage the
PostgreSQL developers to consider it.
BTW, I've recently joined the hackers list. I've used PostgreSQL for
over a year and just began another project using it. I'll mostly be
lurking, but if I can be of help to any of you, then please feel free
to call on me.
