One thing that the original editor is really missing is a decent landmass editor. The current one is pathetic, doesn't allow you to make even remotely realistic terrains, and you can't do some kind of overview (so creating big lands is out of the question). Even using some fractal importer ends up full of bugs.
It would be neat to have that stuff.

I disagree most strongly with this opinion.
I believe that MWEdit shows excellent promise as a script/dialogue editor and it's development should be channelled into making it even better.
It is true that we need other tools, incluging landscape tools, but let us not burden this developer, and this software, with bloating add-ons.
The source for Andragor's mGen map-making program is available... I have a copy... if somebody wants to fix it up and extend it, but please not Dave Humphreys.
