I'm still learning the English language... 18 years of English classes and I
knew how to talk when I walked into my first class in the early 50's... I
never did learn to spell, or to type very well either.  I think I slept during 
every single English class though, and I think it was a wise and useful option 
of which I do not regret

Yes, I think that is an important issue.  If I were looking now, I probably
would go with the one still under development, if for no other reason than to
support the guy still interested.  I think they are close enough in utility to 
use either, although I wouldn't swear to that, since I haven't used FC/2 for
other than brief testing.  All others failed the comparisons quickly in the
testing procedure.
