Actually, yes.

Troy, as was stated before by someone more eloquent than me, PC programmers
may or may not care about the cross-platform nature of Rev. So I wouldn't be
comparing Rev to other cross-platform tools when looking at Windows
development needs - I'd be comparing Rev to other mainstream PC development
environments. And for *those*, the answer is *yes*, all those tools can do
what I proposed Rev should do.
