funny... as nothing is ever really free with Oracle.

APEX was created to replace Forms, which really proved itself as stable technology with some apps having a 30 years lifespan now (code quality and performance aside). but APEX has not even neared Forms in terms of speed of dev. fortunately or not - Forms is so-90-ies and quite discontinued.

...should you mention APEX, then perhaps you should also note MS Access as is pretty much the same.
