What's The Verdict, Web or Not?

[Thomas McGrath III]

Gregg,

This is definitely not the case. This forum has some great  
programmers that have always been able and willing to teach the  
newbies like I was and if it were not for them I would never have  
been able to get good enough to start my own business using Rev as my  
main tool. Everyone on this list was helpful in teaching me how to  
use Rev and more importantly how to look at coding in a professional  
way so that I could grow and prosper.

I started out with HC and moved to SC and roadster but eventually  
gave up on the idea of a web side app because I always expected the  
browser to act like a full fledged application and it is just too  
limiting an environment for that. Instead, an application that  
integrates web components truly is more powerful and useful for me.

That said most people on the list also have strong opinions about the  
tool and world they live and work with. So you must expect a topic  
like this to spark a flurry of responses and opinions on the matter.

The trick for me is to stay open minded to new ways of looking at  
things and not get stuck in my own view of things. I started out  
feeling that a plugin was a necessity and since then have realized  
that the alternatives are much better and work better. I was stuck in  
old thinking for awhile and eventually changed my mind.
