Agreed.  Way back when Rebol was enjoying its 15 minutes of fame I gave 
it a good look, and found that i just didn't look as nice as Rev stuff. 
Part of that is that they didn't double-buffer their windows, so the 
redraws were abysmal; maybe they've fixed that since then.

But overall, aside from a browser plugin I've seen nothing in Rebol that 
couldn't be done in Rev.  And if someone took the time to make a handy 
library (back when I had time on my hands I thought of calling it 
"Revol" <g>) to provide one-liners for anything Rebol does that isn't 
already a one-liner in Transcript.

When it was the only game in town, Rebol was way cool.  But that was a 
long time ago, and Rev has grown far beyond it....
