Mark Gibbs is a good guy. He's actually played with Rev before, but he's
clearly impressed by all the new improvements.

I don't think his statement is really untrue. There were similarities and
when AS came out, there was a strong push to promote it to folks already
familiar with HyperCard. I haven't touched AS in so long though, I have no
idea what sort of monster its become. Is anyone actually using AS with the
interface builder provided by Apple?
