In fact, if you haven't noticed yet, all the people who have tried MC say it's great, and yet you are the only one who says EVONE is great. Aren't you slightly biased?
Something more: EVONE has been in development for ages, and yet MC came out long before EVONE even though it is not completed. It seems wherever I look I see you trying to sell a program which I personally haven't seen, am not prepared to pay for, and do not want to use. I believe that MC is greater than anything you can come up with for one major reason. 1) DA is doing this to help people, not to make money.

1)He is the only one who sais that EVONE is great , because he is one of the few who have tried it. I'm a beta tester of EVONE and I have been using it from beta 1. I admit that mission computer is quite good. But EVONE will at least reach that level. So before saying that he is the only one who sais its great keep in mind that nobody has used it before.
- I can tell that you are no programmer (or you are very lazy and you don't do alot fo coding). EVONE is being written in the C programming language , thats why it take longer to complete then Mission Computer(But it offers more power(like the fact that we can use the SpriteWorld engine to render things)). Mission Computer has been arround much longer in is written In REALbasic, and uses and Objetc Oriented language. That means 2 things , 1) Coding goes very fast in REALbasic , because it does alot for you ,and because it uses OO Basic you can reuse alot of coding when upgrading to a next version. I have tried working with resouces in REALbasic myself and I can assure you , that once you have certain parts you can easly reuse them. So development goes faster.
3)Mission Computer is free. Like I said its written in RealBasic and you have know Idea how easy it is coding in RB compared to C. I can estimate that mission computer contains 500 to 1000 lines of code (I'm not sure about this). EVONE contains more then 30000 lines of code. Jeffery (AriosSofwtare) , worked for 6 hours non-stop yesterday trying to fix some bugs. He has been working on it for 6 months now. You don't get how much work that is. When you get back from school (or work) , you have to start up the computer and instead of enyoing yourself you start WORKING. Programming is a full time job , and is in my belief underapreciated. Most people have no Idea how much effort it takes to write a program. And : We live (if you hadn't noticed) in the 21st century, and sadly evrything resolves arround money. When you work for 6 months on something (+6 months to come), and write a program that will help people (yes it helps), you can ask a small fee. Mission Computer invloved alot of work too , but certainly not as much as EVONE. All we ask is 10$ no insane prices, and we arn't Micro$oft. We don't make much money out of it , but we can pay hosting etc... . We are not selling you a rip-off, or some junk. But many months of work and detication on a product. If you still disagree , learn a language and try to make a program for 6 months. We'll see then if you still want to give it away.
I hope this gives you a better understading of why EVONE cost 10$ and why it takes so long to make.
