The Dink Network

I wouldn't say that. WinDinkEdit is easier to learn for sure, but that doesn't mean it lacks the power to make advanced DMODs. Great DMODs such as initiation and pilgrim's quest were made using WinDinkEdit. In the end it remains a matter of personal preference. For example I like to use WinDinkEdit for every part of map making, but I prefer DinkEdit for editing hardboxes.
