This, in my humble opinion, sums up nicely the greatest strength of
PythonCard in its current form.

Likewise. The only things which really spring to mind in the current
release are:

1. nailing the window geometry differences between Windows, Linux and
MacOS

2. there's a problem with radiogroup components not displaying properly
in either the resource editor or the running application

3. list components can't be selected in the resource editor

4. button dragging doesn't work in the resource editor

My usual working environment is such that I tend to code/test on both
Linux and Windows at the same time, so 1, 3 and 4 don't bother me too
much - anything which I can't do on Linux I do under Windows instead.
Item 2 could do with being fixed though. Could someone else using Linux
try a radiogroup component in the resource editor and see what happens
with both horizontal and vertical orientation?
