I respectfully disagree with your respectful disagreement.

Here's my 2 cents, for whatever it's worth.

In order for Rev to succeed, it needs to have a decent out of the box
user experience. Look what happened to MetaCard which never had one.
Besides, asking that a script editor be at least as good as a previous
version (2.7 is way slower and IMO 'unfriendlier' than the 2.6
version) shouldn't be such a problem.

Some years ago, i had to do with uml and java development to get a distribued apps software engineer master and the onest intersting think i learned from the java courses was that it would be more difficult to use this dev environment without the help of different powerfull ide frameworks, tools and plugin (Eclipse, TomCat, Hibernate, etc...).

Rev probably get usefull help from thirst parties add-ons : Yours, Eric's ones, Jerry's and Trevor's ones, Arcade engine's ones, Printing Report's ones...

This discussion could have to do too with the differences we can see in betwin Linux (monolithic engine architecture) and xBSD (microkernel + dynamic modules load/unload).

In any case, i always prefer to be able to do my choice in betwin different options. It does'nt main that i'm or i'm not right. It just main that i prefer to be able to get the best from the Rev world, even if some tools are'nt coming out from Edimburg...

What would have been Hypercard, in its time, without the Frédéric Rinaldi's Cross Commands/Functions collection... ;-)

I'm pretty much staying off of 2.7 for that reason alone.

And, because Galaxy can't be completely removed without restarting Rev
(unlike Constellation and Jerry's previous products),  it is sometimes
hard to figure out exactly where the problem lies...Galaxy or Rev. All
I want to do is get work done, and it's enough for me to try and debug
1 IDE (Rev's) and not have to be concerned about another.

It's to avoid such pending questions that i'm always installing multiple Rev instances on my dev laptops (2.51, 2.61, 2.74, with and without Galaxy, etc...).

Perhaps it's time for Galaxy to consider becoming like MetaCard, a
complete seperate IDE for the Rev engine. Then Jerry and Trevor
wouldn't have to worry about coding 'around' Rev's own IDE. They
certainly would have more control over the interface-- and Galaxy's
interface is a most beautiful thing, not to mention well-thought out
and functional.

I'd rather have the team working on the engine: fixing bugs and adding
new features, etc. The IDE is something that third parties can work
on: making improvements and drop-in replacements for existing features
ala Galaxy, or by adding plugins.
