I cant agree more on the sentiment that whilst Hollywood sounds great with all its features, it has no sense at all without Designer to use it.
Would you buy a compiler for a propietary computer language without any GUI for ease of use?
It makes no sense to buy Hollywood alone (without Designer). If that is the case it would be much better to get a C compiler like GCC 6.x which has even more portability options and it lets you even learn and develop in a programming language that is used almost everywhere in the computing world. And if you need multimedia, you can either code it from scratch or just reuse one of the hundreds of libraries available.
On the other hand, Hollywood + Hollywood Designer together, bring something new, and that is a reasonable aproach to ease the effort in developing software. That is certainly a worthwhile product, but the Hollywood compiler alone as a product has no sense at all.
