Hey Ho! The central point of my attack on the MacUser review of RR 2 was that it failed to convey the sense of passion and creative possibility that Runtime Revolution has on many users.
The review was extremely workmanlike; but 'workmanlike' is not the type of adjective that fills people's hearts with song and enthusiasm and a desire to rush to the computer, download RR 2 and get 'down-and-dirty' with it. Every week computer mags are full of workmanlike reviews of software; most of them are written by people who know what they are writing about; but not all of us are types who are prepared to read through workmanlike reviews: what we need is an article that siezes one by the cough-cough-coughs and makes us really inspired. The MacUser review does not do that. It should be realised by Software reviewers that computers are no longer wierd, arcane machines that are tended by alchemists in pointy hats with 25 diplomas in funny computer languages: but tools that can, and should, be used by anybody with a drop of creativity in their bones to express themselves in a multitude of ways. Wow; got a bit carried away there - but some of us do feel passion for software that allows us to go all artistic and try to dxrag some our sense of wonder screaming into the real world.
