I evaluated Version 2.3 a couple of years ago, and it lead to me buying a license.
Generally, I loved many of the builder features, but in the end, I found I was very restricted with page data access.
I have received the ads recently for V4, and I would like to take a second try.
Should I? Is V4 significantly different than V2? Using it for generating .NET apps, will I find it easier to access my page data without hacks, or is the model essentially the same?

If you have skipped all the V3, then V4 might be a revelation.
I would suggest the second try, you might end up spending some money.
LOL
Have fun.

Restricted ? how - When I first started using CCS I was used to do query the data then change it in code , however since then I have learned to do most of the munipulations using the real power of SQL, hwat and SQL Server worth if you only use it for
select * form bla left join blabla on ....
I recall chanigng the generated code in order to prevent displaying some rows just because I did knew the correct SQL syntax of GROUP BY * HAVING *
Saying this keep in mind that if you need capabilities such as Object Oreinted Database maping that shield you from SQL like in RoR, Catalyst, or something similar this is the wrong place.
CCS is good in presntation / logic seperation (and now when all the styling is based on CSS it is much more flexible then CCS 2.3) but not as good in logic database seperation it is highly sensative to schema changes.
CCS Code framework could be better (but I heard that in .NET there is a supported 3rd party framework with much more programmer friendly structure - InMotion).
Version 4 adds AJAX support - seems easy to use (Just started using it several days ago).
Anyway the real thing about CCS is that from the day I started using it it provided us with a tool that even novice programmer can use to produce good looking almost bug free application that does 70% of job, the rest 30% is done using custom code and libraries done by our lead programmers using CCS event model.
The result - fast reaction for customers demands with stable applications
Another bonus - some start points as complete aplication and detailed example packs with documentation are provided for free and you get many CSS styling and last - the builders -
Record., Grid Editable Grid, Calendar, Directory, Chart and more.
