作者	[help]waht's the meaning of " give all their due "?
zerol Soul of New Machine 发贴: 593	于 2003-12-11 17:36 The problem is that there are too many Swing developers treating their apps like the second grade drag-n-drop apps that have been made so popular in VB. But to give all their due, there are plenty of VB drag-n-dropped apps out there that suck too. ★☆　The Truth Lies Somewhere In The Middle　☆★

in jin shan dictionary, "due" as noun means 应得的东西。So in here, it can be translated to：
但是除了VB应该表扬的地方，除了VB好的地方，there are plenty of VB drag-n-dropped apps out there that suck too.

It's common way to express complaints/unsatisfaction to a superior in military, used by a lower ranked soldier speaking to higher ranked officer, "With all due respect, sir, you suck!!" That's extreme, of course. Here is another one, "With all due respect, sir, I don't think this is the right way to handle the situation."

so after "give all its due", you know author is going to say something negative/bad about it.
