Thank you Richmond for the care taken with your thoughtful reply.
I've used a *lot* of different development tools and languages over
the years and never found a single one that was exactly to my liking
or to have met all of my felt needs. Whether it be Windows or Linux
(don't use Macs), Rev by far, meets or exceeds the large majority of
my needs, expectations and wishes. When I look at the RunRev glass, it
always seems almost full.

But, then, I am the chap
who when a 4 x 4 hoots at me because I am an extremely careful driver, I stop
the car,
turn off the lights, and go and have "an intimate little chat" with the driver
of the 4 x 4.
Bulgarian drivers NOT being the same as drivers in Britain.

Are you certain that you aren't from the part of Texas where I grew up?
Have you ever been to Arbroath? I suspect that may be where a lot of
the original red-necks came from.
My final "intimate little chat" of that nature resulted in a visit to
a local hospital having bird-shot picked out my person, from a
thankfully misplaced shotgun blast some 25 years ago... somehow I
managed to survive my youth and gained a bit of wisdom about at least
ONE thing.
I certainly hope that Bulgarian drivers are neither easily offended or
in the habit of driving around armed with a loaded shotgun. Just some
food for thought... ;-)
NO, they don't carry loaded shotguns; most of the bald-headed,
neckless goons who drive the 4 x 4s (gifties from their Mafia
bosses) probably would find it beyond their intellectual capacity
to work out one end of a shotgun from another.
All one really needs to do is abuse then in Doric Scots, as, first of all,
as I drive a 15 year-old beat-up Citroen "Elation" with the steering
wheel on the wrong side (drove it here from Scotland) they expect
English; secondly, when they reply in Bulgarian, I switch into their
language as a way of proving that there is little difference between
gutter Dundonian and gutter Plovdivian; this really "sets the cat
amongst the
pigeons" and they generally end up apologising . . . :)
