It's the old "Where's the beef?" or "Boy who cried wolf" syndrome.  Dylan
has been promoted now for at least a year as the greatest thing in the 
programming universe.  While it may well be, folk are reaching the 
"the proof is in the tasting" point.  Either the promotional program
began too soon, or a product needs to be shipping soon.

I am afraid that most folk have now associated Apple's GUI with
the language of Dylan.  Pointing them to Mindy, etc. is not going
to satisfy them for long.
