It is always a Faustian pact, using closed source software, especially when it is in rapid development. Rev is perfectly entitled to abandon the Media experiment. It was noble, but evidently it did not work out. I also think its treated the Studio buyers such as myself fairly, it was entitled to change the terms of renewal any time it wanted, and its done so.
You pays your money and takes your choice. Python is out there, its free, it has an enormous variety of IDEs and editors, its thoroughly cross platform, and it has a thriving community and innumerable tutorials and textbooks and howtos. But, it is rather a steeper learning curve, depending on where you are coming from. It is really not much different from Hypercard, is it? It is someone else that owns it, and you have really no say in what happens to it. Do not, one might advise, get too dependent on it, unless you really know what you are getting into. The thing about Rev is that there is an inbuilt conflict of interest between two target markets, those who want to develop non-commercially, and need it to be cheap, and those who are successfully developing commercially, and can afford to pay decent fees. In the end, its going to be very hard to reconcile the two sets of needs. They have done their best with the mix and match pricing, but some bits have fallen by the wayside. Pity. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Free-RevMedia-tp2549087p2549166.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
