And while we're at it, I'd like to discuss a bit more the choice of
Rev as a dev. tool for apps such as sound, scientific and other
critical, high end & custom apps...
As said before (in a recent post about imagedata), for the last 12 to 18
months, I find myself more and more forced to spend time on
features lacking in Rev : a PDF library, various sound file processing
(FFT, filtering), waveform vizualisation (2D and 3D), etc
while only 2 years ago I was able to do everything with Rev (actually
MC back then)...

Well, I know you mean. But I also don't think that Rev is really out of the loop. IMHO the way to continue supporting the base users as well as advanced users is through add-on libraries and plugins. And I don't mean only those coming from RunRev itself but from 3rd parties. However, the developers of such libraries must be able to get money for them if they wish. Look for example at REALbasic and the zillion of plugins offered for it, some free, some shareware, some commercial. We got several fantastic libraries from a few montivated Rev users but it is not enough. RunRev could put some effort into addressing issues and obstacles and encourage such efforts in various ways.
