The Starter Kit was great for anyone who had the open-mindedness to
look beyond the popular conception of what can be done in ten lines of
code and the perseverance to work within the actual confines of that
limit.
Ten lines of code is a very fuzzy limitation, because you can't know
ahead of time how clever you'll be at building within that limit, and
you can't even have a marginally accurate conception until you've used
Revolution extensively.
The limitations on Express, on the other hand, are conceptually clean
and simple; anyone can grasp what they're getting without any
experience of Revolution at all.
Finally, bugs are always hard to swallow, but I find it's much easier
with a nice chocolate sauce ;-)
Seriously -- _no_ product is bug-free. Revolution works hard to move
toward that unattainable goal.
