I'm not sure they would use Livecode anyway. They want to moan about "the good old days", but when presented with language xyz which is free, and which has hundreds of free libraries, etc. they will find something to bitch about when it comes to Livecode. "What? I have to pay for it! But, I get my travel, gas, electricity, food, etc. for free; why should I pay?" Or else they will complain about there not being source code control, or something else.
I think that those who will come to Livecode have either never used Hypercard before and want a visual development environment without an arcane language, or they will be people who appreciate dynamic languages and late binding who somehow don't want to use javascript/browsers as their presentation layer. Or possibly there are those who just find all the other options for mobile development too unamenable (5 years ago I would never have guessed that Objective C would have come back from the dead). That's my 2c.
