Please, keep this topic in the list! I'm a newbie to both Revolution and
RealBasic, trying to decide which tool to build my business on. I have a
background in Visual Basic, suggesting to migrate to RealBasic, but also
Hypertalk, suggesting I migrate to Revolution. I've written most of my
specs for my educational product, which needs to be cross-platform, and
multi-lingual.
I've found comparisons dated '01 on the runrev site, but need more immediate
comparisons.

Dan,
that would be a little unfair, since were on the Revolution Mailing list and not on the language wars mailing list, almost everyone here choosed Revolution for one reason or another, there's no absolute truth when it comes to taste. All we could do is talk about features of each language, but it would be like David against every one for eventually it would come to abstract things like Transcript Vs REALBasic BASIC Dialect... that's not the case.
I suggest you to get evaluations versions for both languages, subscribe to both mailing lists and invite all the users to send you their Three top reasons to use that language, then you should read those things (for there are gems in each one of them, that you do not see on a quick eval). after that you should evaluate them like doing a similar software in both, talking to the respectives communities to see if you're not missing anything that could ease your way.
then after completing both projects, you should feel the dragging force of your true heritage! :D
eheheh oh boy, I need sleep...
