"the question is this:"
How many new users of LiveCode are actually "brand new" in the sense

A significant enough percentage to make it worthwhile a vector to
consider.
How many brand new users are going to be "freaked out" when the
desktop "they know and love" vanishes without a particularly obvious
way to make it reappear without quitting LiveCode?
That is a very good question, and one which will hopefully answer itself
from testing it out.
The important point here is perhaps that 'discovery' of how to configure
these things might need to be improved (e.g. hints / explanations etc.)
should it turn out to be a problem.
Is this 'reappearance' of an enforced backdrop (Yes, Sports fans, it
came up way back) a 'fudge' to keep people who are rooting for a
unified tiddley-pom
(what's it called?) of your collective back?
No it is not a replacement for anything which might happen in the
future.
Indeed, as things from the future don't exist *now*, it can't be a
replacement or fudge or any other way you might want to express it.
It is working with what we have right now and trying things out to see
if they make what we have right now, better (for appropriate definitions
of 'better' - in this case, does it make LiveCode 'better' for starting
out from scratch).
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
