Apart from Richard's post, here's my take on what SC does that Rev 
doesn't (yet ;-) :

- SC has more flexibility with manipulating embedded imagedata 
(pictureData) than Rev (for example, you can pan, zoom, etc., 
especially now with 'quads'), but Rev lets you address and change 
individual pixels/alpha levels of an image. 

- IMHO, SC handles "larger-than-the-card" stacks (windows) much more 
fluidly than Rev - simply set the backSize of a window to something 
larger than the size of the window, and you're done... and scrolling 
windows as a window style let you move around this area more easily. 
You can do the same things in Rev, it just takes more work and more 
steps.

- SC 4.5 added a lot better field manipulation with rulers, 
per-paragraph alignment, etc.

 - I think that they're online language guide (SC Help) is better 
structured and easier to use, but that's not really SC itself (but I 
just thought I'd mention it).

I'm sure there's a handful of other items, but those are my top 3 (or 
4) places where SC does things Rev doesn't (or not as easily).
