Thanks for your clear and direct explanation!  I imagine that nowadays 
an increasing number of developers approach Rev without an "anti-stack" 
bias


In addition to all of the benefits Chipp outlined, my favorite thing 
about stacks is how conveniently they can be used for general data storage.


Using custom properties of a stack gives you a way to store different 
types of data in a single file with tremendous ease and efficiency.


If you need to keep track of hierarchically-ordered data you can use 
custom property sets in stackstacks, cards, and any groups or controls 
within those cards.


For details on the joys of using stacks for general data storage see:

Chipp,

Thanks for this elucidation.  I'm quite certain that I didn't understand
it all, but will be delighted to point these things out next time I have a
captive geek audience @;-)

One thing that did confuse me (perhaps signifying my ignorance), is
whether point (1) was supposed to be self-explanatory or whether (2) &
(3) flowed from (1)?
