Well, a lot depends on what you use Rev for. I would agree that there's a bunch more multimedia functionality that could/should be added to Rev. But for people like me, who build "standard business applications", the opposite is true for me - 95% of the work I need to be able to do can be done internally to Rev, and the other 5% is going "outside" (externals, AppleScript, VBS, etc.). Since I've been developing with MC/Rev (which was over 6 years ago), the only multimedia things I needed to do that MC/Rev wouldn't do at the time was sound recording and the ability to rotate QuickTime movies. I think part of the issue is that determining where Rev "goes" can be difficult because of multiple target markets. If the only target market was multimedia developers, then more emphasis would be placed on multimedia functionality. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
