I'm also VERY happy to see it as a commercial product. I believe there is room
for three players in the Amiga C compiler game. However, there some
significant deficincies that make it's current evolution totally unacceptable
for serious commercial development purposes. Don't you think you should hold 
the: "it's the next best thing to sliced bread completely bug free" praise 
untill it's been released and let the market determine just how true that 
statement is?  I belive you are also forgetting the value of post purchase
user support which has not been demonstrated at the commercial level for DICE.

A professional developer happy with Lattice, interested in Dice, but cautious,
