I prefer REALBasic do to it's ability to subclass. Others I work with prefer RunRev. Some even prefer Filemaker.

And yet here you are.
Frank asks:
Does anyone find this information useful?
Entertaining, perhaps.
I've seen a lot of "VS" threads in many venues over my 20 years of participation in online communities, and during that time I can't recall a single opinion having been changed as a result of such discourse.
Whether politics, macroeconomic theory, or software tools, this pattern generally holds up.
Recently I've been reading a book titled "A Theory of Everything" which to some degree verifies this phenomenon across a wide variety of cultures, and offers explanations of why such things are as they are.
But they as they are just the same, which leads me to answer your question like this:
Aside from analysis by internal stakeholders in more candid and therefore less public venues, such comparisons in public venues are of greatest value to the competing company able to use competitor resources like discussion lists for other products to carry its messages.
In this regard I must tip my hat to RB and say "well done." ;)
When their VPs begin using customary siglines to identify themselves with confidence and candor they may perhaps become a noble competitor to RunRev (still with us, boatman?)
In the meantime I'm down in New Zealand happily coding a manufacturing analysis tool in Transcript as part of a multi-year project for which all lower-level languages were explicitely rejected.
So it this useful to me?
I'll let you know if I ever have a slowdown in requests for Transcript work....
