Who is doing what with Revolution

Hi All,

I have recently purchased Runtime Revolution having been a fan of  
Hypercard/SuperCard and Multimediia Toolbook on Windows. I've  
basically been teaching myself by doing (the documentation being  
somewhat limited) and now I'm wondering:

What are the possibilities of Revolution?

Are there any (or many) commercial apps built with it?

Are developers using it to prototype an idea than switching to some  
other tool?

Is multimedia a prime focus of Revolution?

Could I build a business around Revolution? By this I mean either  
build a software line of products or is it better suited for building  
custom one-offs for consulting jobs or????

Are there certain apps you shouldn't try to develop in Revolution?  
Such as intense number-crunching?

I'm sure I'll have more questions but I would love to hear from the  
Revolution community what you believe are Revolution's strengths and  
weaknesses.

Thanks,

Gary Thompson
