Well, I must admit I miss them much, especially for business apps.  
This was (and I hope will be at some point) that made Rev shine in  
comparison to flex apps. Actually for me it was a real Revolution to  
be able to break out of the browser box from within the browser. Key  
selling point for one of my clients: Being able to bring up a complex  
modal dialog that blocks the currently running handler until the modal  
dialog is closed. A modal stack that might be bigger than the current  
viewing canvas allows.  No need to refresh the page for it and being  
able to guaranty a minimum window size. This was a real wow effect  
that made one of my clients really want to switch flex made apps to  
rev. With the removal of the feature the rev versions are becoming  
more  unlikely to happen. *sigh*

Throws in a euro cent.

Cheers,
