"If you ever plan to motor west,
Travel my way, take the highway that is best.
Get your kicks on Route sixty-six."
Well, personally, I am currently getting my kicks here:
http://livecode.com/community/roadmap/
Or:
Took the Revvy to the Levvy,
But the Levvy was dry,
Singin'
"Why, Why, Kevin, Why?"
But, I digress . . .
--------------------------------------------------------
A few questions:
1. What is an 'evaluator' ?
2. The "Full IDE Prototype" sounds sexy . . . but . . .
2.1. Can we have a pictorial mockup, Please?
2.2. If it is anything like "that picture" that appeared earlier, would
there
be an option to retain the current IDE [what I really mean is 'GUI'] ?
2.3. "A single windowed IDE" while being all the rage in Visual Basic
and Xojo
[the IDE formally known as Prince] land it may not be what Livecoders
either need
or want: so, how about either:
2.3.1. Several optional front-ends?
or
2.3.2. A questionnaire sent to all current downloaders and/or programmers
cunningly illustrated with mockup pictures so that a sounding can be taken?

Why I am "not very keen on "a single windowed IDE":
I often find myself designing stacks that are full-screen.
I cope with this by having the revMenubar and toolBar stacks on a
different virtual desktop
[Mac and Linux . . . Oh, while I'm on the topic; does anyone know of a
way to implement
multiple desktops on Windows XP, 7 and 8 ?]
And, normally the Application Browser on a third desktop.
I assume (????) that would not be possible with a single window IDE.
I hate having to develop where the WYSIWYG stack needs to be scrolled to
see all of it.
------------------------------------------------------
In 2000 I did a whole slew of development using Toolbook [Windows 1998],
and apart from the
fact that I intensely disliked the Windows 95/98 interface, was at least
pleased to see that
Toolbook did not have a single windowed IDE: especially because I was
developing CALL software
that had to be full screen and had no access to a larger monitor and/or
screen-res than those
for which I was developing.
I see that Toolbook now appears to use a single windowed IDE:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ToolBook#mediaviewer/File:ToolBook_115_UI.png
I would hate to think that the reason why RunRev is moving towards a
single windowed
is, sheeplike, because everybody else does that.
