At the very beginning I used mainly Arena as it offers a debug window where you
can see all the talk between the engine and the gui. Very nice feature.
Now that the engine is at least stable, I use mainly the F8 or F9 GUI. It's the
GUI I'm most familiar with.

Sometimes I also use the Shredder Classic GUI. For many tests I don't need a GUI
at all as my engine has also console output which is often sufficient to check
something on the fly.
