MC is more like a command line app, with only a minimal GUI. There are a 
few more improvements in it now than originally but it still is missing 
many of the interface items that LiveCode provides. The object 
inspectors contain only the basic, most-used items, and everything else 
you must set from the message box. That applies to passwords too. In 
fact, if you don't know a property exists you are likely to miss it 
entirely because the IDE has no reference to it.

It does force you to learn the whole language though. :)

Like others said, MC has the Control Browser. The difference between it 
and LiveCode's browser is that in MC you can only see the objects on the 
current card. Sometimes that is exactly what I want and I switch to MC 
just for that. I also prefer how it handles object layering, which is 
much quicker than LiveCode. Other times I want to see the entire stack 
structure, so I open my stack in LiveCode for that.

It is common for me to use both MC and LiveCode on the same stack in the 
same development session, but I don't think very many people do that. It 
can get complicated. :)
