ZOMG MILKDROP!!!! LOLOLOLOLO!!!! n00b!!!



Why AVS people are so "stuck up" like toqer likes to say? Well it simply because we get shit like this from the left from the right and right into our faces A LOT, now i don't know what the milkdrop scene has "suffered", but i bet it's a lot less than the AVS scene has, after all aren't all milkdrop users so much more intelligent than AVS users? Hmm?

Part of AVS's success comes from it being a part of winamp for a long long time (from the very begining when it was still WVS), but you can't really blaim AVS's success on that, i mean if the software is faulty it wouldn't prosper, right? Just look at what happened to Internet Explorer, it's part of windows which 90% of the worlds computers use, yet more and more people choose some other browser. So what's the catch on AVS? It certainly isn't the speed, people have complained about the speed for aeons (in internet time) for now yet they still come back, what's up with that? Personally i think milkdrop is nothing more than a superscope and a dynamic movement, when speaking in AVS terms, sure milkdrop can do these two things a helluva lot faster, but like history has shown, very few people will settle for speed only. AVS simply is, like everyone else has above mentioned a lot lot lot lot lot lot lot lotx10 more versatile than milkdrop, milkdrop is a lot lot lot lot lot lot lotx10 faster than AVS, but it's capabilities are very limited.
So AVS is "newbie" friendly, i honestly doubt what's wrong with that? Sure we get a lot of newbie presets and we don't appreciate them at all, but atleast the software as whole is a lot more easier to approach than milkdrop.

But anyway, you could argue (and most likely will) argue endlessly about the differences between AVS and Milkdrop and which is better, but will that really accomplish anything? To me milkdrop is still and always will be just a faster way to render a superscope and a dynamic movement.

End of story, go home.
