Hi,

In my opinion, SuperCard is closer to HyperCard than anything else
available. Surely, it has its peculiarities, but Revolution has more.
It has a few bugs, but Revolution has more. Then again, it has lots of
features, but Revolution has more.

I like SuperCard for being simple, reliable and stable. I also like it
because it is very much Mac-like and because there are lots of useful
externals available for free. I have used SuperCard to use several
nice projects for clients of mine and always have lots of fun while
working with it, while I'm always very frustrated about Revolution,
where everything works more or less as expected but not quite. There
are also a few things that are simply impossible with SuperCard, such
as creating cross-platform software, which means that I still use
Revolution for the majority of my projects. Obviously, I don't mean
that everything is possible with Revolution. I believe both have their
advantages and disadvantages and I don't regret having paid for either
of them.
