Another consideration is that if I switch away from Rev, I will need to switch to a language other than my scripting language being used to write the base application. Unfortunately neither Python or Ruby seem to offer any easy way to write standalone applications with a GUI and make the application easily deployable for non-developers.
I don't see any problem doing that in Python. You would build and distribute the app as a standalone executable, and simply "eval" the user scripts. There isn't, as far as I know, any easy way to build the standalones cross-platform, so you yourself would need access to each platform to build the distributable - but you could distribute through a standard installer mechanism (i.e. very easy for anyone to install), and be able to run plug-in scripts.
If you do look at Python, I'd suggest specifically looking at PythonCard - it has a good installer mechanism for Windows, the Mac side can be done but isn't so well packaged yet.
