This is an excellent point.

Still, as a community we're all more or less aware of the work being 
done by others here on the list. How many Revolution projects have you 
seen that made you cringe? I can't think of any. Obviously as the user 
base expands (hopefully dramatically with Express) we'll see more 
beginner projects, and there are bound to be some awful ones, but if 
the average project is as good as I've seen so far, we have nothing to 
worry about.

There are plenty of boneheaded C programs running around, and no one 
blames C. Likewise with every other tool available. I know this doesn't 
help much but still, it seems unreasonable to judge a language based on 
the work newbies do with it. If that standard had been applied in 1996, 
the web would have been universally rejected by 1997 ;-)

One way that occurs to me to deal with any objections would be to 
simply respond, "Those applications were built with Revolution Express. 
I work with Revolution Studio. There's a world of difference."
