Well, last time I was there it scared me to death seeing all those unfixed
bugs :-/

My point is that at this juncture, Rev already has more features than any
other RAD tool out there. Consequently, IMNSHO, stability is a far, far more
important issue than adding features.

What good are more features if your user's application, or worse yet, their
machines, crash because of a bug that should have been fixed by now?

I really want to see a bug-free Rev, or as close as possible, before any
more features are added. It shouldn't be a democratic issue...I think they
should _all_ be fixed.

I don't normally quote the whole of another person's mail, but I agree so strongly with this that I really want it broadcast. I also think that the idea of voting for a bug to be fixed is deeply flawed if it doesn't take into account the severity of the bug, which can vary from an unimportant cosmetic problem in the IDE (the fixing of which might attract a lot of votes) all the way to a complete showstopper for a developer who has the right (within reason) to expect that the product will work as advertised even if he/she is in a small minority of users of that feature. AFAIK the RunRev team can and do work out what are the real showstoppers - and they are, I hope, acting on this set of priorities as far as they can. If this means pulling some new features from the next edition or RunRev, then so be it.


My 2 eurocents, as ever
