It's not about developers.  It's about end-users.

End-users don't generally care what their apps were made with so long as
they provide a great software experience.

When a developer wants to know what tool a ware was written in, she'll go to
the About box to look at the copyright string.

Yes, it is time to stand up and be counted.  But before we can be counted we
must first stand up, and stand proudly.  Hampering an app's exit is not a
proud moment.

Enabling the highest degree of excellence in software design will do far
more for Revolution than the cleverist of branding strategies.

Forget Runtime Revolution Ltd., forget Fourth World/Sons o'
Thunder/Altuit/et al.   We don't matter; ultimately, only the end-user
matters.

Place the end-user experience above all else and the rest will sort itself
out naturally.
