It seems that with 2.5b RunRev is opting to phase out the animation

for real. Mostly because it wasn't all that great - though it did have
some really nice concepts.
Pretty much anybody who has paid any attention to my posts, knows that I
come from a heavy Director background, and in fact still use Director
daily, still more than Revolution except when I am deep in a Rev-based
project.
At this stage, Rev and Director are moving father apart, with Rev more
in line with tools like RealBasic, for "application building" rather
than "multimedia building." Though, it is getting to the stage where
while Director can make a credible application, Rev will have a harder
time making credible multimedia.
So, I ask this... was anyone using the animation library? If so or not,
why, or why not? Should it be replaced? If so, with what? What might it
look like or do differently than the old library did?
One thought I had is just some sort of time-driven callback list with a
graphical interface for setting it up, editing, etc. Then I realized,
well that's about what the animation library was...
Hate to see a feature, even a little used one, pass without any
discussion at all - especially since, in a certain regard, it changes
the development landscape of Rev, and modifies development approach
options.
Any thoughts at all?
Would it make sense to open source it?
