Our Road Ahead - Microsoft Access Engineering Priorities Oct 2022

Tom

I think one of several drawbacks to the new roadmap "90% confident" strategy is that we have no idea whether a feature has been dropped or just further postponed. That's why I asked for clarification

To take a specific example, the Monaco SQL editor was first announced in the old roadmap several years ago.

When that happened, development work was halted on the excellent Access SQL Editor add-in. How can the developer make an informed decision whether to restart work on that add-in?

I also know of other developers who are currently working on their own alternatives. For example, Chris Arnold's Access Studio.

It would be very useful for them to know what is the current status of the Monaco editor.

I think the only thing we can be certain of from the above article is that any items not on the list are definitely NOT being worked on at present. (Apologies for the double negative)
