Some years ago, i had to do with uml and java development to get a  
distribued apps software engineer master and the onest intersting  
think i learned from the java courses was that it would be more  
difficult to use this dev environment without the help of different  
powerfull ide frameworks, tools and plugin (Eclipse, TomCat,  
Hibernate, etc...).

Rev probably get usefull help from thirst parties add-ons : Yours,  
Eric's ones, Jerry's and Trevor's ones, Arcade engine's ones,  
Printing Report's ones...

This discussion could have to do too with the differences we can see  
in betwin Linux (monolithic engine architecture) and xBSD  
(microkernel + dynamic modules load/unload).

In any case, i always prefer to be able to do my choice in betwin  
different options. It does'nt main that i'm or i'm not right. It just  
main that i prefer to be able to get the best from the Rev world,  
even if some tools are'nt coming out from Edimburg...

What would have been Hypercard, in its time, without the Frédéric  
Rinaldi's Cross Commands/Functions collection... ;-)

It's to avoid such pending questions that i'm always installing  
multiple Rev instances on my dev laptops (2.51, 2.61, 2.74, with and  
without Galaxy, etc...).
