People who like blender *really* like it.
People who don't like it generally can't do even
the simplest things with it.

Hmmm - you could certainly do that - what a bizarre thought!  :-)

One thing we certainly want to be able to do is to let designers
of 3D games and simulations link the PrettyPoly core into their
games so that you can be testing the game, see something wrong
with the model and fix it right there without leaving the game.

That won't be possible for everyone - it'll depend on how much
offline processing happens between the modeller and the
application...but it comes for free - and some people will
use it.
