What really made me give up on Hypercard and Supercard was the fact that stacks with more that 2000 cards kept corrupting themselves, and the xcmd’s capable of accessing dBase databases were sketchy at best.
What got me BACK into using a Hypercard-like environment was Runtime Revolution which had support for databases. I think if Hypercard had done that way back then, and Jobs hadn’t killed it, we might still have Hypercard today.
