I agree that MC's IDE is more stable than Rev's (though not 
necessarily more mature) although I'm betting (I bought Rev rather 
than MC) that Rev's stability will improve substantially over the 
next few months - at the end of which I'll have a tool with which I 
can be more productive.

I don't usually go for glitz - but I did buy Rev - does this mean I'm 
immature or???
