It seems to me a more significant contest between the two systems would
be to assign the same project to two very experienced developers with
each development environment, and see who gets it finished quicker.
-- I think after 20yrs...I should be able to make at least in FULL:1. MacWrite 1.0 -- word processing 2. MacPaint 1.0 -- bitmap editing 3. MacDraw 1.0 -- vector editing 4. Excel 1.0 -- number processing
Richard's comment on productivity was intended to focus on tasks typically facing professional developers rather than on artificial contests. It is indeed important that you can process words, bitmaps, vectors and numbers but a contest involving creating new, complete applications in each of these fields is hardly relevant to the daily needs of most people on this list or of the customers they serve. I can see next that this discussion would descend into a feature contest in each of the specific areas; again, not what Richard intended. Let's drop it.
As for Mr Grogono, a man who on my reading can deny and then admit the same thing in a single paragraph, he might recall that a predecessor in his company when writing to this list had the courage to sign his messages in full rather than restrict the information to his e-mail address.
I doubt that either Mr Rivers or Mr Grogono actually achieved anything by their writing other than a change of employment for the first gentleman. Perhaps Mr Grogono is looking for a job ;-)

In either RB or RR...so show me which RAD tool is up to the challage! :)
