One would have to go very much into details to compare and assess the
advantages and deficiencies of Metacard and  the Revolution GUI.

It is also a matter of personal taste and what demands you have as to
how "organized" and  how fast an environment should be. Another
difference would be the needs of beginners and power users - and even
power users may prefer quick access to the most needed functions, while
others are comfortable with walking through a maze.

And above all, it may depend on what you learned first: Most people like
what they already know.-

Concerning the language problem:

There are so few regional variations of written English that it is
indeed worth mentioning if you find any. Otherwise the English language
is very much like Chinese - with a common written basis and a great
number of mutually incomprehensible spoken dialects; a speaker of
Australian or Tamil English (the latter spoken around Madras) will
probably never understand a man from Texas. As for the British Isles,
George Bernard Shaw has competently described the situation of spoken
English.

Maybe we should start on the roadmap for international understanding
with a spelling bee?
