Chipp.....
You make some good points but they aren't really counters to my thoughts. Rather they are sort of orthogonal segues.
I did not mean to say or imply that I wish Rev would simply stop supporting other platforms. That would make their program useless to me as an OS X developer. What I said -- or intended, at any rate -- was that:
(a) Multi-platform support is difficult or impossible to execute while allowing for platform/OS-specific functionality;
(b) Windows programmers are less likely to adopt almost ANY non-MS tool set (though your point about VB does ring true).
(c) The vast, vast majority of serious professional programmers will not take Rev seriously or will be prohibited by any number of factors from adopting it in place of current dev technologies.
(BTW, I have not heard anything to indicate MS is *abandoning* VB. Where did you hear that?)

MO, Any RR investor would do so on the belief of it's strongest virtue: cross-platform development. To ignore it, would be irresponsible from a business point of view.
We agree completely here.
