As always happens when a topic like this comes up, there was some 
lively debate, a few questions of character, and not much positive 
result. When this happened on the REALbasic list last year, I posted a 
couple pages on a wiki server with room for opinion. The result was 
actually halfway decent, so I've done the same for 
SuperCard/Revolution. The home page for discussion is at:

http://wiki.macitworks.com/revdocs/revolutionAndSuperCard

Right now there isn't much there, but that's the beauty of a wiki: 
_anyone_ can edit the pages. There is no authorization required, no 
permission needed. There are two pages linked from the above URL: one 
for SuperCard's strengths, and another for Revolution's. Feel free to 
browse, and be sure to click the Edit link and add your two cents.

Please be civil. For those unfamiliar with the concept, a wiki is 
supposed to be a polite commons. We get the respect we give. If you're 
curious, here's the current state of the Revolution and REALbasic 
comparison:

It could stand an update, especially in light of REALbasic 5.0, so if 
you know anything on the subject, dig in there as well.
