I have used Appmaker, but not for anything where I really got down and
analysed the code output.  It's better than Prototyper 1.0, but I haven't
seen Prototyper 2.0 yet, so I can't compare them.

It does work as advertised, the author regularly attends Boston Computer
Society MacTechGroup meetings, wherein several of the members have
purchased or were beta-testers of the product.  Some members have reported
using Appmaker successfully to develop a couple of products.

Initial observations: The code generation seems very good, and I have 
observed no bugs in the released product.
