Various newbie doubts about LiveCode

[Giuseppe Luigi Punzi]

Hi all,

I asked some question in forums, but before buying Destop ISV package, I would 
like to get a little more generic information.

I will start a personal project for a customer, and I'm searching a new 
IDE/languaje to develop it. I like how to develop in LiveCode, but I have a 
little fear because is something totally unknow to me (I don't know it's 
limits, and advantages over other enviroments). I'm between LiveCode and 
RealStudio.

The project, is a Bills/quotes management.

Because "all" commercial projects I see developed in LiveCode, are "little" 
projects (no offence, I don't know how to express it in english correctly), I 
would like to know, if LiveCode is suitable for my type of project.

My project will work with PostgreSQL, and is not suppose to need something 
especial, but working doing bills, quotes, serving orders, and so on, working 
with a lot of grids. Some reports to show data, some chart, and nothing more. 
A normal Bills/quote management (in Spanish is "Software de gestión", I don't 
know how is the name in english). I know reports an charts are external 
packages. Probably, I will do it with other ways, HTML or some other way, an 
once finiched the project, check for this externals to see If I need it.

I ask, because at the moment, I can't invest 500€ only to research in 
LiveCode, and see if is worth to my needs. If I buy it, is for use it.

Some success history or some information could be enough to get a final 
decision.

Thanks a lot for your time to help me. And thanks a lot to Mark 
(@xtalkprogrammer) because I bother him a lot in Twitter ;)
