Almost nothing has changed since then, except for fixing things that 
should have been working right from the start 9 years ago.
The Base developers wasted too much time with useless wizards covering 
no more than 30% of the program's capabilities and with a "self 
contained database" document that is a caricature of a database (unsafe, 
unsecure, low featured and slow).
Base is best when you ignore most of its tools and helpers relying 
entirely on your own skills and on the capabilities of the underlying 
database driver.
