I am using Revolution professionally to develop educational software. This is my first project with Rev, and so far it is going very well.

As far as cross-platform issues, most of them come from font issues. For the most part, Rev does a great job at compensating for font sizes. Mac fonts, however, take up more space vertically. I find these cosmetic issues easy to deal with using Profile. I have a Win Profile and a Mac profile and switch between them based on the platform at the start up of the program.

I'm curious. How many of you use Rev to make a living, and how many of you just play with it. I'm at the point where I can't believe anyone could use it to do serious development. It is just too buggy, syntax idiosyncrasies and sloth aside.

And how many of you successfully deploy cross-platform applications?
That is my holy grail, but I'm so far away from that I can't even imagine it.

Finally, are there any cross-platform dos and don'ts? I read that the Ask Files dialog is system-dependent at the Filters level. I understand why this might be necessary, but it sure shoots a hole in simple cross-platform applications.
