I was looking at this article that I found via Informixcity (although it's probably been on here as well!)

"Informix seeks developers", it says, and then promptly goes on to say bugger-all about Informix seeking developers!

Well, I can attest that it's true that IBM, with Informix, is on a quest to find developers. I spend a large portion of my working life talking to people who have existing applications on other databases, who are considering migrating away from Oracle because Oracle now competes with them, or who want to move up from "personal databases" into the big leagues, or who want to use some killer aspect of our technology.

The prospect of working with IBM can be a daunting one, I know, especially if you've heard all the horror stories. But it isn't all bad, IBM has some fantastic facilities available to business partners and independent software vendors, like access to acres of kit, demo facilities, porting assistance, joint marketing campaigns, etc., etc.

So if you're lurking out there, wondering whether or not to take the plunge, I say: give it a go!
