SAC : My experience, my opinion

My final conclusion considering SAC is that it is only for very-very simple subassemblies.


It has development environ problems.
. Deleting input/output variables leads to freezing. Before deleting you should save or you loose everything until last save. The best way to delete is to save, close, reopen and delete.
. When it starts becoming "heavy" meaning lots of variables, containers, cases etc it responds very slowly. It is impossible to create a complex subassembly.


For someone like me that is used to VB.net...


...development environ is very annoying
.changing a variable's declaration name does not automatically change all its references
.cut and paste leads to renaming variables with _copy


...lucks of simple programming tools
.no arrays
.no loops
.no string manipulation
.variables are visible only after there declaration
.variables can not be private


It has bugs.
.enum size reducing leads to crazy behaviour


It lucks some functionality
.it is impossible to set the desired order for the user input values
