I was just in Istanbul last week for the Turkish Oracle User Group TROUG Days 2016, where I gave my popular Oracle development tools overview presentation covering Forms, APEX, ADF, JET and MAF.
One interesting thing from discussions with Oracle developers is that everybody tends towards wanting one tool for all purposes. It is a natural and understandable response for Oracle developers with an Oracle Forms background, because for many years we only had one tool
However, with the tools available today, there is no need to limit ourselves to one tool.
- Almost everyone with an Oracle database should be able to use Oracle APEX. It comes for free with the database and is a very capable tool.
- If you are using Oracle Forms, you should also be using APEX
- If you are using Oracle ADF, you should also be using APEX
- Some applications are better built in Forms than APEX
- Some applications are better built in ADF than APEX
