[QUOTE="Lazarus Smith, post: 369037, member: 4352"] A wise man once said: No matter how bad you are, there is always someone out there who is worse, because they think that they are better. I am not a programmer, I am a fantasy author. E-Tools is VERY useful in several ways (yes, the table creator is great). However, it is incomplete in several ways as well. To think that you, or anyone, could "crank out" a better version than this is simple hubris. I do appreciate everyone who has worked so hard to make the best of a bad situation, but you guys who want to get in a prick waving contest are really starting to bore me. I do wish that some of you had been on the team of developers over at Fluid. Many of you have great ideas, and I would have liked to see them realized. They will not be, though, for the same reason that Fluid has put E-Tools on the back burner. You, like them, are not getting paid. Fluid made their money, we got the disks. Period. Want to make it better? Please do. Like I said, I appreciate all of you who really try. I've got the Happy Mr. Skull too. People like Eric, Davin, Paris, and all of the others rock, as well as you guys who have posted legitimate ideas here. No, I'm not a programmer, but you know what, E-Tools wasn't made for programmers. It was made for idiots like me. I could not have created a sliver of the neat stuff that E-Tools is capable of (though I could have done the art better, and have replaced much of the art design on my own) Dead horse beaten?
