Well, they are clearly more designed to be competitors than partners,
but I get what you are saying.

In my case, we use several tools too, generally trying to select the
right language and IDE to best perform the scope of the project.
Frequently, Revolution has won over the other tools as it is extremely
productive. REALbasic usually wins out when capability and depth is
the most important thing. Director is the fastest to do fully custom
"multimedia" and UI... and so on.
