Hello Wayne,

I don't really think Uri was being critical of Fruit, (he's one of Fruit's
and Fabien's biggest fans).  I think instead it's his opinion that Fruit could
be even stronger if it extended less.  True or not, right or wrong, it's only
his opinion, nothing nefarious.  And while Movei isn't as strong as Fruit,
(what other engine is), it's certainly strong enough for Uri to understand
the issues and have an informed judgement on the matter.
