It would be really nice to have better control of text. For instance
if you are using a Mac
they could write and extension to allow text control using ATSUI
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/COnceptual/
ATSUI_Concepts/atsui_chap1/atsui_intro.html
The rev web stuff is what we needed too.
They are both very visually orientated and have better control of
text and how it is
displayed improves your website or rev program.
I vote for ATSUI control for Mac users. Are there any example codes
for extensions that
that use similar callbacks etc so we could add our own extension
easier? I have only
seen two examples of extensions and Rev provided them both. Any
others out there?
HyperCard had tons of code examples for externals. But I can do most
things with the
things Rev has already provided so I understand not seeing many
examples.

The place is swimming with Text Editors! And they get rather
repetitive and boring after
the first 258. :)
This is similar to complaining that you cannot makes bricks with
sand: get over it,
the Egyptians did it with mud 6000 years ago - and its never been
bettered!
Admittedly the drop-shadows, while being 'sexy' could easily be run-
up in
GIMP or "its commercial rival". The webby-thing, as far as I am
concerned,
is a quantum leap, and a "new text field" will just have to wait;
after all we
have reasonably respectable text fields already.
"you can make any kind of application in runrev" is the usual
commercial hype;
however you can have a jolly good stab at it with Runtime
Revolution with an
extremely approachable interface.
If Text-Editors really "tickle your prawns" I have a whole series
of stacks
'lying around' on my hard drives dealing with all sorts of aspects
of text
importing, formatting, editing and exporting (frankly couldn't see
much
point in knitting them together for . . . another text editor)
which I can bung
together in a zip file and send them to you so you can curse my
name forever
as you try to assemble them into text editor "Number 259".

- web plugin

while i did think that the real-time drop shadow and other
Photoshop-like effects were nifty I do not see why they were added
over a feature like a new text field.. during the webinar it was
mentioned that "you can make any kind of application in runrev"
but the fact that one can not even duplicate WordPad or TextEdit
is kind of sad..
i do like the new logo though ^_^
