Visual Composer: Its SAFE to use it ?

Hi,

Someone told me that I should use Visual Composer for EP 6 sp2 iview development. I was trying to use Eclipse, JBuilder or even SAP NW Dev Studio, but I didn't realize the existence of Visual Composer.

In the install guide, it mentions something like "Pilot clients".. I'm worried if I should use it or not =(

My questions are:

1. Do you know if VC 6.0 is a production version ?

2. Do you know if VC 6.0 is powerful enough to generate code ? (good code performance)

3. In which specific situations should I use VC 6.0 instead of doing everything manually with an java IDE ?

Thanks a lot for your help!
