Hi Sadhu et al, For my Java work, I prefer Eclipse for most editing work, and NetBeans when I need a good form builder. Having used Visual Studio.NET as well, I definitely appreciate the strength of their refactoring tools, project-oriented approach and integration with unit testing tools. The big question is: can their approach be applied to the xCard programming paradigm? - forms in Java and .NET are code-generated, unlike Revolution where stacks and cards are the core - everything in Java and .NET revolves exclusively around classes that may or may not represent visual parts of your UI, but Revolution is not object-oriented even if it has OO characteristics What could be great additions to Revolution? - integration with CVS, SVN and other source version control systems, so that developers can cooperate more easily, down to the level of individual scripts rather than at the stack level - more robust plug-in mechanism - refactoring tools to automatically rename variables, handler and function names in one go throughout a project, easily extract handlers and functions from scripts, etc. Just my two cents, Jan Schenkel.
