Its great for what it is.
But it is still a dictionary. For newer users trying to get proficient, its
still going to be like trying to improve your Bulgarian from a
Bulgarian-English dictionary. You can do it to a limited extent, but its
going about it the hard way. And as one poster said earlier, you have to
know Bulgarian well enough to know what you are looking for before you can
find it!
What one part of the target market needs is something quite different. They
need a dictionary of meanings, of tasks. Then they need an entry which shows
how to combine various language elements to get the task done. Without this,
they'll have a really hard time moving from novice to proficient, and will
probably give up and go elsewhere.
It is probably not a need which most contributors to this list have, and it
may be a target market not worth going after. But Rev does seem to be
targetting such users, and this is what it will take to get and keep them.
