What in the HELL does Joe Kohn have to do with this?  If you don't get off it
and stop blaming him for all 1WSW's ills, you are simply going to discredit
1WSW to the point where you will be laughed out of the GS world.  (You're
about 90 percent there already with most people).

DE and FTA are pretty universally well liked, although DE isn't very well
known yet :)  A lot of people do have legitamate beefs with FTA...they
released exactly one really truly useful program (Photonix).  The rest is
silly demos which are fun to watch, but don't DO much for the GS.  (Note, I
don't consider NTGS terribly useful on the basis of the horrible instability
of it's editor.  ESA.RAP is all the NTGS I'm ever gonna wanna deal with).
