Not to throw water (or petrol) on it , but I do think that there have 
been an application or two made with Director. Also, Director is on 
version 9, RR has yet to deliver version 2. Questioning Macromedia's 
commitment to the product, and comparing it to that of a rather young 
company would seem to be a bit of self delusion.

Don't get me wrong, I like RR a lot - but Director is not a tool to look 
down upon. Many people have made entire careers on that tool, and it 
continues to represent a large portion of my company's income. Director 
MX on OSX is really quite a nice tool, and the scripting does not come 
off as an afterthought. And, in the event that an application needs to 
run inside a browser, there is nothing anywhere near as powerful as 
ShockWave.

Both Director an RR have a place. In many ways they play in completely 
separate leagues. I'd rather not choose which one to keep and which to 
dismiss as "not as good."
