The HP3000 is more OPEN than any other platform.  Gartner says so.

If you're concerned about 'state of the art', the HP3000 and its MPE/iX
operating system is many miles in front of any UNIX or derivitave system,
HP-UX very much included.  No hardware/operating system combination
in my nearly 40 years of experience has a more robust file management system,
or a more simple, easy-to-use user interface.  I've run up against more
sophisticated
DBMS, but none were so rock-solid as TurboIMAGE.

I weep rivers of tears and shudder in agony at the very thought of moving to
any other development environment.

There .... I said it.  Trust me.  **I** don't play around with my interns.
