- It does not have that many different bricks.
exactly what bricks does it have?
only townjr bricks?

I don't really know which bricks Town Jr. would include, but I suppose
Creator doesn't even have _all_ that. Maybe I should do a piece
inventory of Creator? Or has anybody already done that?

But the main 'problem' with Creator is that you cannot place/turn the
pieces freely (My own BlockCAD has the same limitation :-().

It's also not an 'open' format, neither the pieces nor the models, so
you have to wait for LEGO to _sell_ you more pieces, and you can't
publish your models.

Compare that to LDRAW, where _many_ people work together to fill it up
with (some day) every piece there is, more than one rendering program
exists, and you can publish your models any way you want.

Admittedly, Creator is easier to begin with than LDRAW, but I think it
looses on most other points. (Being without shame, I would say
BlockCAD is even more easy to begin with...)
