Your definition of "serious applications" seems to coincide pretty
substantially with "fields I, personally, have worked in," particularly
since you've conveniently ignored the passel of non-game applications
that have also been cited in order to focus on the one you feel most
prepared to trivialize and discount in pursuance of your "argument."
And in addition to habitually slagging on applications and tools you
don't consider "serious" for no particular reason and with zero
provocation, you name-call like a grade-schooler. So it's difficult
*not* to parse your overall behavior as simian chest-thumping and
expecting to be treated as Le Fromage Grande on the basis of standards
conveniently set by yourself.

Case in point. But for the sake of argument, let's review:

Person: "This thing exists."
Muttley: "Nobody uses that."
People: "Here's all these things that use that."
Muttley: "Those don't count."
People: "Come again?"
Muttley: "They're not serious."
People: "What's your definition of 'serious' here?"
Muttley: "Things that I've worked on."
People: "...Um."
Muttley: "Also you're a poopiehead."
