Geez Elmerlee, can't you at least be civil. What is the matter with you?

Hey guys, I have been playing DMB for many years. After following this discussion for some time, I am seriously thinking about giving OOTP a try. However, I have another "concern about the DIPS system" that hasn't been mentioned yet.

While DMB has many limitations, its great strength is that what it does, it does very well. The "guts" of the game are rock solid. I was wondering how confident you are that with all the changes Markus is making that the game engine will remain solid. I always get a bit nervous when I hear that a programmer is making huge changes to a game because that often means that the basics of the game may get overlooked. Are you all comfortable that Markus will release a game engine that is polished? All the bells and whistles mean nothing if the game engine is buggy.
