Depends on your very individual point of view. In contrast, I was
confirmed that providing a seamless Terrain sounds quite appealing.

Instead, having to assemble Scenery from a lot of different places if
you're after a bigger chunk, especially if these chunks don't fit
together properly, doesn't attract everyone. Neither does the public
impression of "why the hell does each of these fellows play in
everyone's private sandboxes instead of collaborating on fixing their
most pressing issues together".

Anyhow I _do_ acknowledge a certain benefit for a certain 'type' of
user, but I'd like to emphasize that this benefit doesn't necessarily
scale to the entire (potential) user base.

Cheers,
	Martin.
