You see, interestingly enough... this is a sort of catch-22 for the
people that want NQC allowed.

If there is a huge advantage to NQC, people who don't use it might
perceive other people using it as somehow unfair to them (even though it
_is_ available to everyone, unfamiliarity with the tool could
nevertheless be construed as an unfair disadvantage when LEGO themselves
is not actively endorsing the product).

If there isn't a huge advantage with NQC, then trying to argue why it
should be allowed is pointless.
