Well, this may be true for most people but it can be a show stopper for some. Consider a scientific application that involves modelling or function fitting. I have written such a program some years ago (sold as shareware) and would love to recreate it with MC/Rev (users still ask for it but the old code stopped working with OS 8). It requires users entering complex math functions that program matches to the provided set of experimental data, calculating statistical fit and producing graphical output. It would be trivial to run it through "do", but the 10-line limit is a killer. The only alternative I see is to write my own interpreter/compiler in MetaTalk but that ain't so trivial and slows things down. Of course, another alternative is to have each user buy their own copy of MC or Rev but that would be akin to asking users of programs written in C to buy CodeWarrior (although I am sure that MC/Rev folks would love it).
I'm facing the same situation in trying to implement Lisp-like functionality in Revolution. A functional approach to coding is making the script-length-limits into only a minor issue.
The alternative would be to approach RunRev about a special license. I don't know whether it would be possible, but it seems like a win-win to me.
