Lloyd,

The only real drawback to AS Studio IMO is that there is definitely a 
learning curve. I found it much easier to get an interface up and 
running back in the "classic" days with Dialog Director than I did when 
I moved my relatively modest app to Studio.

However, with Studio, you can generate much more of a "real" 
application. It's a personal decision; is what you want to accomplish 
worth the time and trouble to learn AS Studio? For me it was.
