One hopes for the latter but fears for the former. We have a licensing
problem with the parts library, which we need to address, quickly, IMHO, or
stumbling blocks of our own making could prevent TLC legal from approving
use of the LDraw format. This is being discussed in the CAD groups (work
faltered on a license, it's a hard problem. I'm arguing that the matter all
of a sudden got more urgent)
I am sure that most of us would not like to see a Creator style interface or
Creator format data files... but rather would prefer the 100 flowers of the
many different LDraw compatible programs to continue to bloom rather than
wither on the vine, so that users have a choice of interface styles, etc.
