If you were a programmer and have your own engine,from that point if you also get to program the GUI and sell it off publicly,your program would be more popular.It's about popularity and economy,its not about strength.so far some engine like Ruffian seems very unknown to many people here.why's that?why's it not popular? no GUI?no good company to sponsor or distribute?could be that reason,would'nt you agree?
