Since I participated in precipating this thread moons ago before I had a
grip on MC's mode of operation, I would like to chime in here
and agree with Professor Volkey on the above. As a long time user of
Supercard before, when the new "Project Editor" turned about to be a
"dead" environment, it was really very disappointing, and I had to basically
build into every single project under development my own development
interface tools to avoid having to go back into the project editor for the
slightest changes. Either that or shell out more money for Tangerine... MC's
interface was a "quantum leap" out of that hobbled context. Agreed, let's
not go back.
