The degree to which we expand the scope of the MC IDE project is the degree
to which this question becomes relevant:

If we are to put significant effort into improving the quality of life for
Transcript coders, why limit the audience to the relatively very small
subset who use the MC IDE?

Dual-use options seem optimal for all.  There are a great many very smart,
experienced people with a demonstrated interest in producing free software
who use only Rev.  Those enhancements that work in both IDEs benefit from
the combined brainpower available to both camps.
