In all fairness, Rev 1.1 addressed a lot of the sort of issue one would
expect with a 1.0 release, and 1.1.1 is even better.

And please allow me to sing another chorus of that popular tune.  Having
been active in the industry since 1987, I've never experienced support like
what Scott Raney delivers.  Truly in a class by himself.

Sometimes.  There's always a question of return on investment with such
things.  I've been working with MC since before Rev was announced, so I've
amassed a fair collection of tools to augment MC's somewhat spartan IDE.
Rev has a lot of the same stuff -- and a whole lot more -- already built
into their IDE.
