During the Kickstarter Campaign it quite plainly says under the heading of, What is your money going toward? "We will introduce a new visual editor designed around todays usability standards." And then under the next heading of, Technical Summary of Kickstarter Deliverables: "Create a new, beautiful graphical front-end for building your apps" Of all the goals in the Kickstarter project, this was *the* one that appealed to me the most. It has not been delivered, and based on the current LiveCode 8.0 DP and the rate of progress since the Kickstarter Campaign ended two years ago, I do not expect to see anything like what was shown halfway down this page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1755283828/open-source-edition-of-livecode/description before late 2017 at the earliest. If the LiveCode team prove me wrong I will be delighted, but every time a new deal, project, or initiative is announced such as: "bring HTML5 Web Delivery to LiveCode" "one time opportunity to protect you against this and any future price rises" "a new Business Application Framework" I am reminded that I am still stuck with an awful IDE, when I thought I had already paid for something a whole lot better. If this is a rant then I am sorry, but a new IDE was a clearly stated goal of the Kickstarter Campaign and I don't think it gets mentioned enough in these discussions. -- Scott McDonald "Components, Controls, Tools and Resources for LiveCode" www.runrevplanet.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
