Add me to both lists : - as a developper of cd-rom i don't mind to use the MC GUI as it is, and i did not use anymore Director, Supercard, OMO or Toolbook for more than 18 month. MetaTalk is much cleaver and much more powerfull. But also the metacard .exe are thin and fast ; metacard is by far the best authoring system for a delivery on cd-rom (whe should prepair a list of awards : best xtalk langage, best support, best cross-platform tool, best server side internet tool, best cdrom authoring package ...) - but as a professor, i can not even think of using Metacard with my students :-(( Not only because the interface is u(nix)gly, but also because the help stacks are too cryptically designed (not always consistant, not enough examples, not sample code to copy and paste, no fulltext search facility, no FAQ...). I can not say to my students "go and browse through the MC list..." I cannot blame Metacard corp if they prefer prepair MC 2.4 for "experienced developpers" (like me :-)) than prepair a cleaner GUI for new developpers like my students :-( ... even if i agree with Richard Gaskin when he wrote : >A $10k facelift to MC would save more than $100k in sales. Actually for the "more than $100k in sales", i dont know. But i agree with the "$10k facelift" ; if Metacard want to win more new users, it only needs an clean and easy GUI (� la Hypercard), not an heavy, slow and bugged one (� la Supercard 3).
