Loyalty aside, IMO the entire Hypercard comparison and reflection needs to end and go away. Revolution is not Hypercard, and I don't see how comparing Rev to a dead product invented 20+ years ago serves either the product or its potential users. I for one would like to see 2010 begin an era where all Hypercard comparisons are removed. Rev has been around for years now -- I think it's quite capable of standing on its own, without the crutch of a bygone development tool to prop it up.
