I am not certain that the second point (as I have interpreted him) is true in the sense that it can not be dealt with in tool design or code management but the first alone is sufficient to wipe Rev out of large scale application development anyway.
I think you nailed it here. Disclaimer: xTalk was my first programming language and is still my "favorite". My primary job right now is on a small team PHP project.
I have no idea how I would function on a team xTalk project. Previous threads here have discussed CVS, bug tracking, group projects... and as far as I can tell all of those things are non-existent. They all make my life many times easier when working in PHP or C, or a host of other languages.
With that said, I've never seen a RAD tool that is also ideal for large team projects. I don't think of it as a flaw, but rather part of being a RAD tool. Rev *could* integrate with CVS, but with a great deal of effort. Extensions could be written to guarantee delivery of messages (what about just one big backscript that catches every message, and if it does, knows that it never got caught along the path?). Etc. But I don't know if any of this would be such a good thing. Revolution is already a cross-platform swiss army knife... would we _want_ it to be a swiss army tank?
