What's wrong with Microsoft's LightSwitch?

Question

Microsoft

lightswitch is a fairly powerful tool for designing simple database web faces, but for some reason it is completely unpopular, even in Google the number of mentions of it in the search is so small that it can be considered equal to 0, I worked with it a little and I don’t understand at all why no one uses it, maybe Does anyone know what is wrong with it?

Answer 1

From my own experience, I can say that the framework is quite functional, especially for building a fast back-end. Added different data sources and LightSwitch converts them to OData, very convenient + almost unlimited possibilities with RIA services
