Yes, bad UI design. It's not just that though, there are loads of
problems in the IDE, especially with the Script Editor.
If basic development environments didn't have third party tools,
they wouldn't last long. Third party products exist to enrich a
platform, not because the underlying "standard" product is
untrustworthy or un-useable. It's a matter of providing more
choices, extending functionality and creating diversity--the
hallmarks of evolution (or in Richard's case "Devolution").
CodeWarrior didn't have any 3rd party tools that I ever used or
*needed* to use and CodeWarrior lasted a fairly long time! In
general I have nothing against 3rd party tools, but the "basic"
package should be able to handle basic things without falling over
or causing scripts to be corrupted or lost.
There are a number of development environments I have used over the
years that didn't have 3rd party tools and they lasted a long time
or are still going.
We have Constellation (www.daniels-mara.com/products/
constellation.htm) users who have never used the Revolution script
editor--newbies to Revolution, if you will. The same can be said
of the Metacard IDE and Devolution (Richard Gaskin's IDE). There
are also people who are using Scott Rossi's excellent tools
(www.tactilemedia.com) and have never used the "stock" object
alignnment and colorizing.
Sure, but you shouldn't be *forced* to use them because the basic
package is not all it should be. Also, when a newbie buys RunRev
and starts to use it, depending on their past experience, they have
a big task to get their head around, a programming language, an IDE
and the whole MC concept. They really don't want to take on any
more at that time.

Buy Constellation from Runtime Revolution!
http://revstudio.runrev.com/section/revselect/constellation/
I (and many others) already bought RunRev! Why should we have to
buy something else just to work around problems in the RunRev IDE?
All the Best
Dave
