Microsoft Visual Studio vs TIBCO General Interface [EOL] comparison

TIBCO General Interface consists of two components: General Interface Builder and General Interface Framework. TIBCO General Interface Builder is a browser-based, visual development environment used to develop AJAX applications. AJAX (asynchronous communications, JavaScript, and XML) applications are run in a standard browser, but look and feel like a desktop-run application. General Interface Builder includes a Components Libraries Palette that contains many standard components used to add functionality to your application, such as menus, taskbars, text boxes, etc. TIBCO General Interface Framework is a distributable runtime framework for running browser-based applications developed with General Interface Builder. Note that this framework is deployed as part of Workspace - it does not need to be deployed to client machines to run a WCC application. The only software need to run the application locally is a browser.
