However, to people with absolutely no background in programming with other
languages, it makes perfect sense. Rather than ruin such a wonderful boost
in learning and productivity, I would rather have a new editor that brings
all of the object scripts together into one editing field, yet makes it

I'm trying to put as much of the logic into script only stacks as possible
cuz I want my application to be open source contribution friendly. Livecode
actually makes that counterintuitive because it's so tempting to put little
handlers in each control.

This makes me a little sad, because one of
Adobe tried this years ago, with a feature that could take a regular magazine
layout (for example) and format it to display nicely in a web browser or some
other format. The idea was to design once then deploy in multiple forms. It was
a good idea. But it always required some tweaking. Sometimes
This isn't so much about 'multi-platform' development but about designing apps
for different interaction / display combinations.
I'd say the key thing is to separate your design into modelcontroller and view.
In the ideal case a UI is a 'thin' layer on top of an API based model which

In all fairnes
Thanks Bob. I was not expecting quick replies to my question - I know
it's a tough, and potentially wide, area to address.
Thanks for the pointers to those apps - I looked closely at QuickInfo
and more briefly at the other.
My first comment is that I guess I'm not ready to give up on LC yet :
