I just purchased Visual Blitz myself, and I'm happy with that decision. I've tried Protean each time a new demo has been released, but it just never gelled with me. Too much going on, it's distracting. I don't deny it is powerful, but personally I like the simplicity and 'snappiness' of the Blitz IDE, and Visual Blitz keeps this paradigm while still giving me the features I need (without the extra bulk and clutter).

I would definitely suggest trying out both demos. Play around for more than a couple minutes to get a feel for working in each one.

There are a few more things I want from Visual Blitz (eg. proper project support), but these appear on Ed's to-do list so I'm hoping to see them soon ;)
