title: Is REALBasic worth $50?
body: <p>As a Windows and web developer of 12+ years and an "at home" Mac user, I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the REALBasic for personal use.  I've often wanted to dabble in development for OS X; I know VB, Java, C#, but not C, C++, or Objective-C.  I don't have a specific project in mind and haven't been motivated to learn Objective-C, so I'm wondering if RB would be easy and good enough to get me started with some small apps.</p>
  
  <p>Here are my concerns/questions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>I haven't heard much about REALBasic in the "real world" - there is only one question on stackoverflow tagged with "realbasic" - so, is it a viable development environment, or is it just a "toy" language/IDE?</p></li>
  <li><p>Are there any quirks or gotchas with apps written/compiled with RB?</p></li>
  <li><p>Are there any commercial apps out there that are written in RB?</p></li>
  </ul>
