Yes, definitely. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the results can look
very professional.

Yes, I believe they are also developing a OSX version.

Depends on what your trying to achieve and how much time you have on your
hands.

They actually released an update today! Version 3.5.2.

I use FaceSpan for all our internal applications that I write. Mostly for
Illustrator, PhotoShop, FileMaker and our production workflows.

I am just starting to learn REALbasic as I am led to believe that using RB
to do the number crunching and AppleScript for the Inter Application
Communication (talking to the scriptable apps through AppleEvents) is a
better, faster solution. Does anyone have any experience with REALbasic and
AppleScript that could confirm up this?
