FWIW, I didn't read that comment as directed at anyone in particular, heck I responded to it because as a newbie I felt the need to affirm my resolve, coz yeah I have big dreams. To be honest it did seem a bit unnecessary as it's fairly obvious that modding entails not an insignificant amount of time and effort. Though I also found it personally helpful because as a noob it was good to mentally embrace the challenge and post about it.
Cromcrom, your initial post made me feel very excited not only because your concept sounds freaking awesome but because it reminded me that this is a powerful editor that many experienced RPG modders will want to get their hands on. It was great to see!
