I agree with Tore here. There is a trememdous amount of parts out for
LDraw now and the .dat file format is unquestionably the most popular
system for creating virtual Lego models on the internet. I would be
against developing a new system separate from LDraw, when the system
fulfills the community's needs. Until TLG comes out with a CAD system
that fits our needs like LDraw does and offers trememdous improvement,
I believe LDraw will remain to be the standard.
Pretty much, I tend to downplay any unofficial system which tries to
compete with LDraw. :)
