If RunRev decides to add JavaScript just to be in par with those 
other environments and atract more users, so let be it. I can trust 
that they implement it reasonaly. After all, this can be done (as 
someone suggested) in an OSA-like approach, eliminating any potential 
confusion and keeping Transcript as we know it. However, I really, 
really hope that RunRev first finishes all the things they've already 
started (ie recent pr's), puts a true and serious effort into bug 
hunting (it seem they are getting serious about this), and implements 
the enhancements requested by the current user base. I think that one 
of the selling points of MetaCard was its reputation of being 
rock-solid. Rev should strive for the same.
