Nice, but no longer open source as of like two years ago, and the creator apparently likes to put surprises in the installer that lead to deliberate memory leaks and random evil laughter being played over your speakers. This is supposedly to punish users for interfering with the installer (which normally tries to make you install shitware), but apparently this behavior has also been triggered by normal users accidentally. I'm not running that shit on my machine, it's about a half step away from being malware now. A real shame as I remember CE 6.3 back in the day being really nice to use.

I know, right? all those years of reputation, gone like that.

Yeah, I mean this sounds almost like a joke if you don't have a source lol Bit in all seriousness, it's sad to let someone's ego ruin an otherwise cool project like that
