Well, Rolls Royce maybe. I prefer a Porsche, I can drive faster with that car.

Why I would use Winboard, CCLient, Freak, Thief ? Because they are better
interfaces IMHO.

Watch GMs play ? Well, thats a good argument, actually the only good I have
heared in favour of I$$. For me personally this is not important, I almost only
play bughouse on the net, and there is no decent opposition on I$$, all good
bughouse players are on FICS.
