>> If I can write a bloody GUI to StudioMDL, why can't Valve? Because you already wrote it. Why would they need to duplicate your work? Why pay paid developers to do something the modding community does for free? ;)
I do wish Hammer was open-source, or atleast had a plugin-system (Maybe written in Lua or C++ or such), so that even if Valve didn't take the time to make their tools more user-friendly, the users could. What Source lacks in high-end graphics, and ultra precise physics and so on, I do think that they make up for it in Gameplay. You still see huge gaming communities playing CSS, CS, DOD:S, TF2, L4D, etc. These games are years old, yet people still play them daily. And yeah, content creation is way too much of a fight. Un-descriptive errors, illogical errors, etc. While the CLI doesn't bother me, having learned to use it, I could see how it could be an issue for a new user. (Keep in mind I'm only 16) And alot of the stuff isn't documented which irks me. Also not having the model sources for more complex things really annoys me, because it's left the modders to try and figure it out on their own. Things like MDLDecompiler aren't a terrible help with the new stuff because it isn't even put into the qcs or models, so we have NO clue if some of the commands even exist.
