There are several areas where Rev is excellent, some where it is good, some
where it is poor, etc. I think so long as we all are trying to work with
RunRev to shore up the "non-excellent" points of the product, it will only
continue to get better and better.

One way to do this is to look at what other development tools do well and
see if there's a way to add this functionality to Rev. As Troy said:

I totally agree. It is good to have several tools in the "toolbox", but if
you can have an "all-in-one" tool (or as close to it as possible), you don't
need to reach into the toolbox for other tools quite so often.
