I got burned by following the SuperCard promise of Windows run-time. I gave
up when the told me that their browser plugin would "Get my app on Windows."
Revolution looks very neat in a lot of ways. One thing I loved was the
preview mode that allows you to see the UI in the style of Windows and
Linux. Kind of neat.
And though it is easier in some regards, the actual IDE is a jumbled mess,
which is also my opinion of SuperCard as well. RB's IDE is actually a little
less scary looking, if I put my beginners hat on. Now once we get into
classes and my favorite word in the world, instantiation, then the "Cards"
will go easier on a lot of beginners.
