Glad you like the MC IDE.  Makes the work a lot of us have put into 
maintianing it worthwhile.

The Rev Enterprise license is USD$899 ($100 less than I paid for my MC 
license years ago), and you can upgrade for far less than that through 
their web site.

But if all you want is a simpler UI and already have a Rev license, a 
little patience may be all that's needed:

I'm working on a Rev plugin called FlipsIDE which lets you flip into the 
MC IDE after launching Rev.  It's far simpler to set up than MC is now, 
and will allow you to use the toolkit of your choice with any valid Rev 
license (and not just the MC IDE; FlipsIDE is designed to be modular so 
folks can make a flipper for other IDEs as well, like FreeGUI, 
Constellation, the Rossi Collection, and whatever else comes along).

I'm trying to finish some other projects first, but hope to release 
FlipsIDE not long after I'm back from the Euro Rev Con in Malta.
