I wonder how you work that out.

I would phrase things a bit differenly:

Mike is the person who is contributing the most to LiveCode at the moment.

There may be many more people who are just as busy, or busier, who use LiveCode for "all and everything" but don't let us know so much.

"I must correct you here. The problem is not MS per say, but rather the RTF
specification; it is closer to a "guideline" than to a specification that
explicitly states what is and is not allowed. MS simply includes more
"features" in their interpretation of the RTF specs than most other
companies do. There are some good things that come out of it, such as text
with full justification. The bad part is, VERY few programs know how to
display fully justified text. So, the choice is to give it up, or use HTML.
(Although, if my memomry serves me correctly, Rev choked on imported fully
justified HTML as well.)"
