99% MC.

I use LC for dictionary and  standalone building.

Not using MC for standalone building.  For testing I'm using stack runner actually.
When it comes to commercial distribution I build standalone's in LC

I build standalones  in LC because that's the only option but generally I'm fine with LC standalone builder.
I think that just duplicating LC standalone builder functionality in MC will be waste of time. If MC standalone builder will have some better or unique features, that's another matter but at the moment I can't think about any features that LC SB lucks.

I'll consider web plugin use when and if it will became more reliable.
