That's not true.
People have had enough time to get dissapointed by the monsters and all the hype.

Things are a-changing.
Just look at what's been done e.g. in Orel only in 2006, and more is in works.

Interesting indeed -- but my answer is negative:
alternatives are either horribly complex, or (not xor) far from efficient, or lack garbage collection, or do not allow to quickly create a graphic that reacts to mouse clicks exactly as required, or do not support pictures in program sources :))
