If you every programed with run rev, You most likely came across crashes, freezes and buggy occurrences. That wiped out hours of work. It was the one thing that keep me renewing real basic for the last 6 years even though I never once used it in the past 5 years.

It what proclaimed the phases buggy as hell, when referring to the runrev IDE. By many of people that used this tool.

Then one day, this other developer team Daniels and Mara announce a new out of the IDE editor specially designed for run rev. I was like, what this? what about GLX2? I was honestly confused in this new direction and tool.

Then heard a few claims that this might just stop the crashes and freezes and even from people using the tag line. "rev is buggy as hell" That these terms would go away, by just switching to an outside editor. Yah that is hard to believe, you can say it because I did.

This new editor tRev by Daniels and Mara. Well I was not especting much. But to my surprise runrev never crashed once in a full week. That never has not happened before. While T-Rev is still in beta, I switch to it now, because it works. While I think it is missing a few things from what I would love it to have. It works It does not crash the runrev IDE! (like revs built in editor) it saves hours of frustration and is worth the cheap price tag.

The term "rev is buggy as hell" Has gone away. Rev was not buggy! the built in rev editor was (is) buggy, the built in IDE editor, points to where all the past problems came from. I know you do not believe me. I know , I really really do.

All I can say is give it a test drive, and try it out. You will see. All the problems that seem like bugs, all the problems that crashed it, froze it and frustrated you will go away. I was and still am truly amazed that finally a solution is here to fix these issues.

Bravo, for finally fixing the hell of working with in runrev. T-Rev is worth every penny. Do not be a cheap-o, pick it up and save your self so many headaches and future frustration.

Remember a computer should help people, not drive them mad. The only way to stop the madness is to use tools that work, and stop using the many that do not work well to cause frustration and angry in the first place.

Now I also can say runrev is truly a great tool, minus that bad built in editor.
