Well yes, Metacard is a simple, efficient, stable development
environment which has just enough controls and tools to help an author
get the job done, Rev is supposed to do the same thing except that you
never know if it's your script's error message or the environment's. Not
to mention that from the time you click something to something actually
happening is a long time.
Besides, there is something about Rev that leaves the false impression
that all one has to do is click a few buttons here and there and have an
application, which has more to do with marketing then authoring. 
Then there is the support issue: per incident replies as opposed to per
week replies seem to me more desirable.
People who buy glitz are immature at best, IMHO.
