RealBasic is not a bad development tool - its great to create GUI applications - quick and easy. More, these applications do not have to suck...

HOWEVER its application like this that gives RB a bad image...

Its great that people are making lots of applications for Mac using RealBasic... as long as RB is not abused... but, this is the worse type of abuse - charging money for such a basic application.

AO must spent less than an hour on his applications and which offer no extra functionality over free apps - even applications bundled with OSX... such as Text Edit ( Simple Text Editor), FileMerge (Differences Examiner (which doesn't work )) etc etc.

Offering file changes such as "Full recompilation" and bumping up a major version number isn't impressive... Do those (poor people) who registered the previous version - are they offered a free upgrade - or have they got to pay more money, for what - a developer pressing the 'Make All' button?!!!

A Few of AO apps would be good, if they were free... but really, they aren't worthy of charging money... really because they don't offer functionality that goes beyond anything than basic. More often than not, they just don't work too well ( I'm not talking specifically about Mouse Measurer).
