I grew up around RunRev. Tuviah Snyder, the former developer of MetaCard and former CTO of RunRev is my older brother. RunRev made a deal with Scott Raney, the creator of MetaCard to basically take it over, redistribute it and make future modifications. Kevin Miller, the CEO is a pretty decent fellow. They have a very loyal following, and are trying to branch out with new marketing and significant upgrades to their products.
Personally, I found developing in RunRev very frustrating. I use to joke that I would have to start a function with please and end it with thank you. However, some find the english like syntax pleasing, I find it very frustrating. I prefer to say x = 3, instead of put 3 into x, or some variant of that.

I tend to agree about the syntax, but I didn't have a strong HyperCard background before I discovered the products. I dislike most C/Algol syntax too, for that matter. (I struggle with syntax more than I should, in general, and I like minimal syntax. I'm happiest with S-expressions.)
