Helix updated for OS X
It's been a long time coming, but Helix 6 is finally available. That means a complete switch to Helix for OS X is finally possible. That also means no server running on OS X, clients running in Classic. For those who don't know, Helix is a powerful database app— similar to FileMaker. The core tool, Helix RADE, is a visual tool for programming relational databases, and creating apps built on those databases. While Helix isn't as slick as FileMaker (and nowhere near the marketing budget), it does have a loyal following. It's had plenty of time to develop a following, since it was introduced in 1983. But Helix's fanbase isn't necessarily old, it's practical. Helix uses an interesting workflow, and is reportedly quite easy to setup and manage. According to the site, they are also working on Windows and Linux versions of Helix.
