In my oppinion its not about what we think about the developers
its about what we get for the price ..lets be honest
theres a bunch of free rendering engines out there that can be
done with whatever you like ! That means you could upgrade
its features and sell without roylties being taken ! And i mean engines
like irrlicht here..

So with that in mind looking at prices gs is just way up there in prices
and i love gs but really im not one for buying into the high priced version , but then again
gs has some nice pricing models availible for what you need

Oh and i am leaning a bit to essenthel for my bigger projects so far
and am i wrong but i think essenthel was a one man thing?
