Seems like you answered your own question.  "Pre-beta" means "prior to
rigorous beta testing".

If you've participated in alpha and beta testing for large commercial
applications, you'll note that Rev's level of functionality for pre-beta is
not inconsistent with that of major publishers.

And given that Rev provides much more thorough documentation than companies
like Adobe and Macromedia (sorry, big guys -- I love your apps but your docs
are slender), Rev seems to be a step ahead of the game.

Writing a complex app that allow programmers to author a single code base
for deployment on nearly all major platforms is a non-trvial task.  If you
need a more finished version for your evaluation, you may want to wait until
Rev 2.0 hits at least beta.
