Glad you asked. I'd made myself somewhat tiresome to some here over the 
last several years with my constant nagging about the two issues below, 
but since you asked I'll make this my now-only-annual plea for them:

In brief, it's infinitely easier to create custom drawing environments 
in SC than it is in Rev today, which could be corrected with those 
enhancements.

Also, Mark Lucas (SC's co-owner and lead engineer) is uncommonly 
passionate about the Mac and is perhaps the most tenacious programmer 
I've ever personally known.  As a result, I think it's fair to say that 
it's a tad easier to make truly Mac-HIG-conformant apps in SC than it is 
in Rev.

For example, you can mock up image wells in Rev using a group, but 
there's a few pixels difference in the curve between a group and a true 
image well, and IIRC SC allows you to make true image wells.

In all fairness to the good folks at RunRev, with the many platforms 
they support I can understand if some aspects of OS-specific features 
get prioritized lower than they would for a platform-specific tools like SC.
