I used some MS tools in the past (well, at least what I can call  
past, some years ago), I was never a happy coder... everything felt  
so hacked up, gee, I quickly moved to Delphi (which felt less like a  
hack).

Before Revolution the only three environments I was trully happy were  
Scheme48, REBOL and Turbo Pascal 3. I learned to code in Turbo Pascal  
3 and those yellow chars still make me smile. I guess that before  
Rev, I was never happy with GUI programming environments...

One of the things I like best of Rev is that it works like I want it  
to work, if what I want is not a standard feature, I can always build  
my own tool and use it as plugin...

Cheers
