super program for HEK?

Honestly, I'm not really sure what people are giving him so much credit for. He's basically just taking 4 separate exe's and having them all run under one hood. What's wrong with having them all running separately within the operating system?

This.

It's basically an app launcher on steroids.

Think about H2V's crappy launcher tool for compiling lightmaps and what have you.

There's nothing wrong with having them running separately, but having them all in one exe is a little more convenient.

How so? They are all on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen. Since he cannot add any NEW features, it seems that all he could do is remove features and cripple the tools. That and I'm not sure about the performance implications of trying to get everything working in that one executable - what if you are only using a couple of the apps and don't need the full suite?

Exactly my point.

How is it more convenient? You will still have to switch between tabs in his program, how is that any different than switching between windows? In reality it is actually worse because from the look of it you cannot even have two tags in Guerilla open at once.

Personal preference.

I use tabbed chats with MSN. Tabs in a browser. My task bar is always cluttered, I prefer tabs.

It must be the word 'super' in the title/name.

I like this app for the ability to change one small thing, type a macro, recompile, and restart halo to test the map, all in one environment. It might not be Prom but I have hope.

Hope for what? That it will magically turn into a program like Prom? It's not going to happen, especially from a person like E3po.

Stop and read that quote by Ghost very carefully. Now think about it for a second. He cannot add any new features to the HEK tools whatsoever, so what are you hoping for besides a miracle? All this will ever be is a glorified app launcher that people think is "amazing" because they've never seen one like it before.

Even if Prometheus can do much more . . . it hasn't been released, correct? So noone can use it, despite it's claim to be better. Correct?

How does this make it better?

How does you not having something impact it's superiority?

We currently don't have the technology to sustain a fusion reaction, but it doesn't cease to be better than fission.

We're arguing Prometheus' superiority because it had better features and actually added more capability to the tools, this is just a launcher. I might as well run all 4 apps simultaneously and switch via the taskbar.
