Hi Bruce;
I agree ...it's quite a dilemma!
Maintain an IDE that <5% of the PB Community utilizes that's based on an obsolete version of Visual Studio - plus, waste valuable engineering resources (that would be better spent on PB Classic).
Versus add needed features to the IDE that almost every PB developer uses and that works with Appeon Web & Mobile.
I guess sometimes you need to take a step backward in order to finally move two steps forward. Hopefully, Appeon will be able to add REST web service support to PB Classic in the near future.
Regards ... Chris
