As for a general comparison, FileMaker is a database with a nice set of interface tools. Revolution is an interface toolkit with a nice set of database-access tools. Revolution gives you _much_ more flexibility in interface design.
If your database and interface needs are within FileMaker's abilities and your application is strongly data-oriented, FileMaker is a great choice. If you need a database faster/more powerful/more robust than FileMaker, Revolution allows you to use Valentine, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and other databases. If your interface needs outweigh your database needs, Revolution is easier/more capable than FileMaker.

And of course, when you're done and you want to share your app with others,
with FileMaper you'll need to either make sure the other user has a
FileMaker license or buy the $500 Developer Edition to build standalone
apps. The $149 version of Rev lets you build standalones for one platform,
and the other Rev packages let you develop and deploy on nearly all modern
desktop operating systems.
