One thing you might consider is the 'Base' application from
openoffice. I'm not sure it's what you want, but it might work... In
any case it's likely worth looking at.

Well, if they're not using it, they're not going to have problems
either. Having used a slew of programming languages, including some
fancy, less popular ones myself, I am pretty sure that people run into
problems with all of them:-)

Anyone who decides solely by looking at stats is kind of silly. That
said, though, I think there is some validity to these kinds of
things... Here's my attempt at something similar with more data
sources:

As I say, though...take things with a grain of salt. I did those
stats with Tcl, and Hecl, which don't figure highly in the results;-)
