Let me just say that for a development environment, Revolution is about the 
most inexpensive one I found. It shouldn't surprise me that RunRev Inc. does 
not have the resources to do everything that everyone demands. 

No developer allows the "public" to see what they are doing internally to debug 
their software. No dev team makes their discussions about bugs public! That is 
just silly to expect that. I think the problem is we have such a real community 
of people here, we forget that unless we are getting a check from RunRev every 
month, we are, in fact, the public. 

So I say, thank you RunRev for adding all the cool features I whined about in 
the beginning, like a table object for instance, and not getting too hung up 
with squashing bugs that only affect one or two people and have a workaround 
anyway. And thanks to Trevor for making a database library that I can use 
without having to learn SQL <shudders uncontrollably>. And thanks to everyone 
else that makes cool things with Revolution so that RunRev doesn't have to. 

Bugs are a bummer, but I think the only bugs that really require immediate 
resolution are the fatal ones. Prompt attention should be given to non-fatal 
ones with no workaround. Non-fatal bugs with a workaround, bah! I'd rather see 
new features then have RunRev get hung up in those. 

Really, I think we need to quantify how many fatal bugs RunRev has left 
outstanding, and judge them on that. I don't know of any. When I started using 
Revolution I was getting hangs and crash to desktop pretty regularly. Now I 
rarely get them, and none have ever whacked my stacks, at least to my 
knowledge.
