If you can create the tools for yourself (like a decent map editor) and can live with the fact that it is harder to create top-notch graphics games and that it is windows only with this engine, it still is a good engine. It is stable (for me atleast), I like the documentation (everything in 1 manual and to the point descriptions) and there's alot of stuff to find on this forum. Plus it is actually quite flexible (though too much cpu eating for an support/utility? program or such however).

But as a starter engine to prepare you for the other engines, this is a good place to start
, agreed, I liked the lite-c tutorial in that regard.
