The wonderful things mappers and modders do

I'm gonna write sometime about some of the things I wish mappers and modders wouldn't do, but before I do that I need to say how great it is that there have been mods like Warpspasm, SuperDuper Quake and Remake Quake in recent times. I believe that any sane engine coder should find these mods to be inspirational, as they provide encouragement to build a more capable engine. This is a great example of one section of the community feeding off the work of another, and even though things aren't always seen eye-to-eye, it's stuff like this that helps the whole thing hang together.
