The IDE creates both client AND server-side code.

Yes, it appears that it does do this.

The IDE will place things on the server-side if it feels thats where it
belongs, but you can place code on either side at your own descetion.

This is not so clear to me. I understand the documentation could be
wrong and the product is still evolving, but as it stands now, placing
business rules and validation into the client, especially a web browser,
IMO is just asking for problems.

That quote is just informing the user that unlike other similiar products
that force everything to the server, Morfik also allows client-side coding.

Maybe, but that's not how I interpret it. Ideally, IMO, validation and
business rules should be written once and enforced first and foremost on
the server, and secondly on the client if it lends itself to a better
end-user experience (which validation usually does).

Even thou I can find it at this moment, Morfik does have the ability to
compile against the Delphi compiler.
But I admit, that I don't know to what level that really means.

If that's the case, then why not just use Delphi for the server-side
stuff? :)

IOW, if you start coding to Delphi to leverage the VCL, what value does
Morfik give you over using any other powerful Javascript library on the
client and Delphi on the server?
