There is so much in Galaxy that not everyone will agree with my
estimation of what is most valuable, but here goes:

Tabbed editing (scripts & properties)
Editing everything in a single window
Hypertext linking to Rev terms and to your own handlers
Being able to alter the common properties from a contextual menu (you
can set what appears in this menu)

I think you really have to try it. It will change the way you work in Rev.

Cheers,
