The best part of Dune is clearly the worldbuilding rather than the prose. Yes it can be used, and the software is great when you get to know how it works, but there is a learning curve that similar software does not have.

- long_time_gone 5y ago> I always say, that sort of reasoning leads to us eating shit because billions of flies cannot be wrong (cit). You didn't make the distinction "is not necessarily" in your first comment. That changes the connotation.
