I've never used NSE but one way I evaluate similar products is to find out
if they are used internally by their vendor to manage complex projects.
For example, does Sun use NSE to develop NSE?  Does Sun use NSE to develop
SunOS? I have no idea what the answers to these questions are but if
either is "no" then I'd wonder why not.

Anything you read here is my opinion and in no way represents Sybase, Inc.
