As a "newb" to RunRev, I really can't add much of anything useful to the conversation other than to point out just how true Richard's perception is from someone recently on the outside looking in. Since the initial release of Rev and up until a few days ago, I kept track of development progress by downloading the most recent version about every six months or so. I'd "kick the tires" a little to see what was new, while trying to justify (in my mind) the cost of licensing in comparison to it's features. Although I've always had an overall favorable impression of the product, much of what I would read on this list all too often had a negative impact. Reading that Rev "needs this, that or something else" left my perception pretty much just as Richard describes. The good news is that I've now found first hand that nothing could be further from the truth. :) Here's a short story to illustrate: For the the little commercial project I'm currently working on, I spent over a year of research and planning, along with trying numerous programming tools without ever getting to first base. Two weeks with Dreamcard and now a week with Rev Studio and I already have the app about 60% complete and mostly functional just as it is. (Many thanks to everyone that has helped me in the process!) Today I demo'd the current version at the office and my employer (soon to be a marketing partner in the project) is *estatic* with the results. He simply couldn't believe that I've accomplished so much functionality in a short period of time. :) :) :) Regardless of any flaws that may exist or improvements that may need to be made in the future, RunRev is now my "can do tool"... I don't believe that I've made any mistakes at all in that new perception. -Doc- _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
