It's a very powefull program, it's free, and there's more of a hands on approach
to useing Crafty, probably allot of those Craftys that you see are not the
version that's downloaded but ones where the code has been tweaked and then
compiled, there's not likely to be as much pride involved in running a comercial
program that will always remain basically the way you got it out of the box.
