although it is not overtly stated one look at the interface is a dead give-away that it has been made with Runtime Revolution.
The scope and functionality of Ken's program is very impressive, but if just looking at it makes it clear what development tool it was made with that's quite a harsh indictment for the tool.
Ideally, any development tool would produce wares which are so reflective of conventions of the OSes it runs on that it would be indistinguishable from products made with, say, xCode or MS Visual Studio.
FileMaker, HyperCard, and some other tools took such radical liberties with OS conventions that it was usually easy to spot things made with them; the developer had little control over many of the design elements that were forced on them.
I like to believe Rev has gone beyond such old-world limitations, but perhaps it still has some weaknesses which should get some attention:
What specific elements suggest "Rev" to you when you look at the screenshots?
