Hi frank,

It's a Windows magazine, probably written by Windows fans. What do they know?
;-)
Seriously, they are both correct, and lacking. Rev is by far an easier environment to work with than Visual Studio, and personally I hate Microsoft stuff. OTOH, the documentation is quite lacking from the perspective of learning how to use Rev (the tutorials in RevOnline are a nice start, but still lacking). Additionally, there are some flaws in the interface design of the IDE which can be quite confusing for new users.
Rev is *very* nice after you know where to look for things, but HyperCard it is not.
People need to be able to assemble useful things from a list of ready-made parts they can just copy/paste.
One of the things that got HC off and running was the plethora of useful ready-to-run and/or modify stacks, together with ready-made fields, buttons, artwork, etc.
IMO, that's what it needs. Like a bunch of Barbie and Ken doll themes with add-on objects.
