10 bugs in 2 minutes time!

I spend that much time posting to this list every week. I'm sorry you 
lost 2 hours, but you did it as part of the process of getting your 
individual bug reports submitted. Not such a bad deal.

Then you should have evaluated the latest version of Rev before 
choosing it for a valuable project. It is not always wise to use the 
latest version of everything if your money is on the line. If you are 
so certain that the old Metacard IDE is better, use it.

I sympathize with wasting time on your own penny. But in a community 
where many people spend hours every week contributing and helping and 
bug hunting, to sound off about your 2 hours in BugZilla and your 1 day 
slippage in releasing a stack, it rings very hollow with me. I'm sure 
in your Supercard and HC days, you lost a day somewhere when your 
stacks got corrupted, for example. Rev ain't perfect, but you can't 
shake a stick at it's productivity just because you found some geometry 
bugs.

Because the IDE has bugs? The engine is identical to MetaCard's.
If geometry manager is your headache, maybe it's not ready for your 
needs. And maybe there are more workarounds. And maybe the bugs would 
be fixed by now if you hadn't been too stubborn to re-enter them in 
BugZilla a long time ago.

Then why don't you either stick with what was working, or actually help 
make Rev better in a constructive fashion?

Then join the process of helping improve it. That's a pretty unique 
empowerment that you won't find with many major tools.
If you don't have time to contribute to the community, why should it 
jump to support you above and beyond others?
