Why isn't Rev more popular?

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Man, 

This list is really getting corny... No more talk about xtalk
or rev stuff. It's been 3 weeks im deleting nearly every message
in my 3 mailboxes (and the new spam)...

Business applications? Man, i run a bank's storage systems with rev
for some 2000 users everyday since 5 years!!! Never a challenge that
can't be fixed in "minutes"... Ah yes, and Rev does the reports, stats
and graphs for the managers... And there's web reporting and more too...

It's true that a few here in the list do not like criticisms of Rev
and Rev doesn't say anything to soothe the complainers, ahem, users in
trouble... 

In the meanwhile the wise users create bugzillas, pay for licenses (over 
and over) in the hope of a quick fix - while others in the list will 
devote lore and prose to help find a solution - which happens nearly 
every time!!! 

But even as one of the worst complainers in the revMailist history, i
haven't seen a valid peep of why rev is not a good environment of 
business applications - (and yes tables are easy to make in rev - easier
than in any other language i've tried - i've tried about 20 or so...)

So, let's get back to scripting! Ignore the loud berzerkers who bring
nothing we can't use or help with...

Ask yourself, is it productive?

Fanatics we are and we love what we do. We do it with heart and mind.
Something which this list is not doing anymore with the noise ratio
so high!
