I tend to agree, but I think I'm also one of the few that actually give JavE
credit when I think it was actually doing more work then me...while the pretty
conversions are easier on the eyes in many cases I still almost feel it is
cheating. Like the image below, it's a conversion, but I diddled a bit over 40%
of it if I had to guess...either way it was Jave that did most of the work...now
if I just used the drawing features of the program I'd likely not give JavE
credit.
