Bob, A very reasonable post. As a PC programmer, the Tab key was news to me also. In the interest of "discussion" here's another idea:
Over the years, I have found that editors (and word processors) are like religions. Everyone likes the one they are used to and are willing to go to war over it. Maybe the answer is, and I don't even know if this is possible in the Rev paradigm, is to give users a choice by allowing them to use 3rd party editors. The problem (and fear) here usually is that the debugging facilities of the IDE won't integrate with a 3rd party editor. So, maybe instead of trying to make The Editor a one size fits all (which will never happen), publish a standard against which 3rd party programmers can write alternate editors, which the debugger, and other elements of the IDE will use in the same fashion that it uses The Editor. There could be a list of approved editors and a place in Preferences to pick the one you are using. In the long run, I believe, this would be less programming for the Rev folks and more opportunity for the independent developer.
