I'm not saying it's not powerful or useful. I'm saying that because there are so few of us there are also few standard libraries etc that we can all just drop in our projects. If people write an sdk for their thing they don't write it for LiveCode. This is the number one reason why we need open source. We need bums on seats using LiveCode so we can leverage the contributions of many rather than just a few.
