 And then think about programming in FoxPro, FileMaker, Flash
(brand names identified with the programming language)
as opposed to flavors of C, Pascal, (Borland, etc)
Environs like Dreamweaver, GoLive...

Meander thru the book store, look at the shelves and see the impact those
names have... a variety of reactions, I would imagine.  The C++ primer as
thick as your arm.

Now imagine Revolution snuggled between them in alphabetical order...
Revolution in 21 Days
Revolution Bible
Revolution Cross-Platform Made-Easy
Rev Desktop Reference
Revolution for Network Administrators
Revolution Externals Handbook
Revolution-ize Your Office
Eye-popping Rev Interfaces

Revolution for Dummies (which is when you know you have finally arrived)
