This is what REALLY SUCKS about whingeing

[Sivakatirswami]

Second that... I've been using Metacard and RunRev now for what...ten  
years? can't remember when I switched from Supercard... in that whole  
time  think I had 4 corrupt stacks. All the work of which (script  
wise) was easily recovered by simply opening the broken stack in  
BBEdit and copying out my scripts.

I think this qualifies as about as  "Rock Solid!" as you can get...  
and I use Rev intensively, every day... not for commercial apps, but  
Rev apps drive key in-house applications for Hinduism Today  
International Magazine and Himalayan Academy Publications.

Things you can do that still amaze me: like today in 2 hours I ripped  
through 1447 old web files, fixed links... re-wired them all, removed  
code, inserting new code and had the book up on the distribution  
server before lunch... You just don't get this kind of productivity  
with *anything* else I have ever used on a computer. And xTalk is the  
only language I know....

vs: the Adobe environment we live in here where we experience  
literally dozens of file corruptions every quarter (IDCS is getting  
better though... so it's less these days)
