Certainly many of the key bindings are similar, but each game has taken 
its own evolutionary path. Plain-vanilla Angband has reached a high 
degree of refinement. It has also been around for quite some time; I 
believe its pedigree includes Moria, which may have been a child of 
Rogue, in turn.

I always like it when someone nonchalantly mentions "just an idle 
project showing Xconq's malleability".... :-)
