It's the same engine.

As announced, the upgrade path seems quite favorable for MC users, in which
we can continue to use MC if we like and we also get a Rev license to drop
into that IDE whenever we need.

I had an email exchange with im just last week.

I'm as distracted by the rate of change here as anyone else, but it does not

Let's take their assurances of continued support for the MC IDE at face
value until we have some solid reason to believe otherwise.
