I do not care too much how the historical icons look, what I care about is the functionality of the Metacard IDE. Above all I like the quickly accessible "Control Browser", which is my main tool during programming.
I like MC's control browser too. Sometimes I only want to see what's immediately available on a card, not the whole hierarchy of objects and stacks. And I really like how I can change the layering order of objects so easily in MC, from directly within the browser. Sometimes I do want to see everything, so then I look at the stack in Rev. Each IDE has advantages/disadvantages.
A couple of things that might make your work in Rev easier:
- You can have open only one script editor at the same time in the Rev IDE, the Metacard IDE allows any number of open script editors (which simplifies the comparison and editing of scripts)
If you right-click on an editor tab, you can open that script in a new window. If you always want new windows and you never want tabs, change the option in the Script Editor pane Preferences. That way it acts like MC.
- If you edit a script and close the editor with the close icon - instead of the compile button - the tools palette (which disappears when you open the script editor) will not re-appear. You have to take a detour now to bring back the tools palette, for instance using the message box.
Change the option in Prefs that specifies whether to hide palettes when opening the editor. This is one of the first things I change whenever I set up new prefs. I never want palettes or the message box hidden.
