As a developer of ZC, this topic makes me bang my head against the wall. Some people aren't going to like ZC, and that's that. No need to argue about it. If you're gonna try and convince someone (like that'd work anyway) just say your peace and let it be. If they aren't interested, then hey, that's the way they feel about it. You or I may not agree with their assessment, but unless you deliberately want to start a flame war, pursuing the argument isn't gonna do anything.
It also doesn't help that the particular quest this topic is about is, at best, a mediocre graphics heck.
On the other hand, I don't think people here have been giving ZC a fair shake. It's still a work-in-progress, and thre are a lot of problems (mostly because the original code was never meant to be a general-purpose Zelda creator, but simply a Z1 clone), but I think there's some outdated or incorrect information being spread around. If anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to answer them, though I don't know how much longer this topic will last...
