    This tool implements many useful programs in one place, which is very useful for learning. However, it is pretty buggy and poorly documented, which makes learning difficult. A bit more work fixing bugs, making it more stable, documenting input parameters, and adding a few other features would make this tool an incredibly useful educational resource. Right now it is 80% there, which makes it both tantalizing and frustrating.

      you know, if you tried to make a tool that does this much, and make it perfect, you’d be quite hard pressed. you need to realize that this is not a product of a company, this is a tool that is developed by students over time and it keeps getting updates, fixes, and improvements all the time. have you made any tools yourself? if so which ones?

      if you have particular complaints, why don’t you state them — specifically. that would be much more helpful than a completely useless rant such as what you’ve posted.

    A great way to test drive and learn about a variety of computational methods.

    This is a fantastic tool to help me, a materials scientist, become acquainted with computational tools. As a materials scientist, I am constantly crippled by my complete and utter lack of unique skills. I recoil in horror at mathematical equations that do not have simple analytical solutions. A big day for me would be solving Poisson’s equation with simple boundary equations. This tool gives me a glimpse into the life of the more apt physicists and mathematicians. I am now comfortable saying things like, “well obviously monte carlo techniques can not exhibit any of the dymanical behavior you are studying. Duh.” Only would I say this to other materials scientists. I mean actual materials scientists, not physicists or chemists who entered the field after obtaining useful skills. I am afraid of these people.

    The value to my life increased after I began using this tool. With this new value and meaning, I have found my life’s direction. And it is good. If the tool were a human being, I would marry it.

    This program is a sensational tool that brings computational ease to the otherwise difficult task of simulating molecular interactions (even for the technologically inept).

    A technological and pedagogical tour-de-force.
