...and who aren't already using Open Office, or Think Free Office, or any of the others?
That Rev and other tools are used to develop professional applications has already been proven, many times over every month.
In every trollfest on every list for every product, there is inevitably one point or another in favor of each tool.
And still, people use the tool they prefer, and their preference is driven by a much wider range of factors rarely related to someone else's decision to waste their own time replicating office suites. :)
One of the reasons I find these sorts of threads tedious is that they tend to be as lengthy as they are fruitless.
Posts in which someone migrating to Rev from another tool asks questions of how to do something they're used to doing differently are useful, but the ol' "my tool is better than your tool" gambit less so.
If someone here were to misrepresnt RB by saying it costs a thousand dollars or some such silliness, I would expect that product manager to correct the claim if no one here did.
But perpetuating pissing matches over hair-splitting tedium rarely accomplishes more than annoyance for the reader and Google fodder for the other vendor.
A far better use of time might be to ship apps. :)
