I believe the interface itself being as "active" as it is, weakens the program.
There is so much non-sense that isn't needed to a normal chess program user.

They should put out two versions. One for basic home users that want all the
frills, and another directed towards people that was to test personalities,
auto232 matches, and so forth. I just do not see the need for the big flashy
interface.

BTW, I actually prefer the Fritz 5.32 interface to Fritz 6's, and love Winboard
compared to other interfaces. I prefer no frills. That is all.
