I currently use Designer 1.3.2 (or 2.1.2 or 6.0) and was planning to upgrade to Designer 6.0 and migrate to Designer 9i. What do you recommend?
Once you have upgraded to Designer 6.0, Oracle recommends you migrate to Oracle Designer 10g**. The functionality available in Designer 6i and 9i Designer is the same as that offered in Designer 10g. A move to the latest version brings the you to a supported release with all the new functionality offered in the Server Generator, the application generation tools such, as the Forms and the WebServer Generators, and versioning and the configuration management capabilities. You should also be in a better position to transition your legacy information from Designer to JDeveloper, as the development teams are working on utilities to ease this flow. **Please review the Migration Guide available on OTN for further assistance in this area.
