Well, it's all about using the right tool for the job at hand. I've been using Rev/LiveCode for one-off tools, for prototypes, and for complete projects. If a project is better done in Java or .NET, I'll use those tools instead.
Sure, I wish LiveCode had toolbars, ribbons, tree views, etc. all built-in with point-and-click configuration as well as full scripting control. But I've always been able to replicate what I needed, and behaviors have recently made that a whole lot easier.
