Visual Cafe was spun off by Symantec as the flagship of a new company, WebGain. WebGain acquired several other technologies, including TopLink, before ceasing operations in 2002. While TopLink found a home at Oracle, Visual Café is no longer commercially available. WebGain purchased Together Soft's product Together Control Center (Together Studio) to integrate into Visual Cafe, but soon after the purchase was complete, Borland purchased WebGain's products Visual Cafe and Together Control Center. These products can now be found in Jbuilder.
