You can't boil peoples opinions into two categories, that's
Sith thinking. Don't start this us vs. them business.

This is how I view the game, a way to think outside
of the assigned box. You say I have only one option,
like the game saying 'You must type this whole game
out by hand.'
I say, 'There's ways around that!'

The game itself is a simple, yet complex game. It
involves strategy, tactics, a dash of math. It has
a nostalgic form of instant messaging for a social
aspect.

Being able to set up a set of commands to be sent
all at once for amazingly fast actions, too cool...

Having a couple programs that add graphics and
scripting is the reason the game has lasted imo.
It makes an interesting game more fun to play.

A game you can set in motion, then stop back now
and again..checking on progress and tweaking commands.

Both, strongly.
