Re: [Plib-devel] Quaternions in plib

Because it's overkill. You don't need to use quaternions for everything.
The only thing I use them for is for interpolation keyframed animations.
For camera controls , eulers work fine; have been for years.

As long as you know the limitations of eulers, you should be fine.
