Xavier,

Funny, I am going on the exact oposite direction, I am porting 
everything to Rev so that I can have my own built for my taste working 
enviroment. I am porting a little contact app, an email app, a rich 
text app, a HTML generator, a Photo organizer, a MP3 Player... In the 
end I hope to have a environment that suits me, that needs nothing, one 
that I could use cross platforms and fell at home, the same way I felt 
with REBOL/Desktop back in 2000.

If I had Tiger and Rev 2.6 the world would even be better for I could 
do some eye candy to make my UI more elegant. They key is, let miniapps 
do the work they are good at, since all those miniapps are running 
inside the same engine instance they all can share data. Heck, in the 
Mac I can even use AppleEvents and Send to Program if I want apps in 
different engine instances to comunitcate, or I can go crazy playing 
again with sockets (it's plain obvious that my system builds arround 
RevHTTPd, old server learns new tricks)

The cool thing about Rev is this organic possibility that I can simply 
grow a fully working enviroment while I am working, like, heck, this 
needs to play mp3 also, so script a little stack to do it, tie it with 
the little clock you also built and boom, you have a mp3 alarm clock, 
tie that with contact app and organizer app and you have a nice agenda. 
They say a voyage begin with the first step, that a phrase begins with 
a word. My enviroment begins with on Startup, and that suits me ;-) no 
need for anything.

Cheers
