How many of them went to the SC list and made their only post in that
community a knock of the host product?

The Read Me for SC 4.0.1 also describes "long-standing" crashing bugs.  This
doesn't mean that Mark Lucas is a slacker, nor does Rev's bugs mean that
they are slackers.  It simply means that both are software products, and
just about all software always has at least a few bugs (and if they have to
deal with Apple's schizoid Carbon API, they may have more than a few <g>).

I tried to present an opportunity for us all to continue this discussion on
common ground, but thus far your only two posts seem to want to take things
in very different direction.  I can't remember the last time a disparaging
comment was made about SC here.....

Meanwhile, I'm using MetaCard and my cross-platform product got the same
rating in MacWorld as SC just a month before (March, p45), so clearly any OS
X problems are easily fixable as soon as Rev updates their engine.

What exactly are you here to contribute?
