I'd appreciate comparisons of this and related products, or pointers to 
useful reviews (haven't seen any in the basic mags).  How to evaluate
MacApp, MacExpress, Programmer's Extender, TransSkel--without actually
trying them out? (Too expensive, & they don't accept returns!)

Perhaps availability of such powertools might influence choice of language.
For small projects, certainly seems like such packages are a necessary
shortcut, but haven't been able to find enough info to make an informed
decision.

Would welcome comments by net or e-mail.
