i feel like most of the problem is that there aren't many people who contribute anything, it's mostly people who take
not here to be all like "oh muh leechers pls stop", but it wouldn't be this bad with so many people using different things if people could learn and give back to the community they use, such as releasing code like in the resources section, so that people could have the option to use tfs and edit as they see fit
rather than having something like otx where you have the newest up-to-date features and client support, people should be able to just edit their own engine as they see fit based off of tfs
the reason why the majority of people choose otx over tfs (i feel like) is because of the different varieties of clients it supports
but i do hate seeing people using 0.3.6, 0.3.7, and 0.4 nowadays for 8.6 when there's a downgraded version of tfs 1.2 by ninja, which is more than likely a better engine than 0.x even if it isn't updated anymore
everybody complains about tfs being shit and outdated but at the same time nobody wants to help make it better or do anything for the engine
