MaxGUI is a quality product. It works well and there isn't much fuss to get things up and running.
The main drawback of going from Blitz3D to BlitzMax is that Max is still so new. Because Max it is so new it will be undergoing major changes with every build. So depending on what type of coder you are this could be devastating.
But, on the other hand you can easily compile your projects for windows, osx, and linux to reach a wider audience.
Currently I've been doing all of my 2D coding in BlitzMax and I love it. But until a 3D module is produced and ready to make games with ( which will be never ) I don't see any reason why to not use both.
( Brain fart... )
