I much prefer TADS 3. With that said, I'm glad Inform 7 exists. It's such a strange one that seems to work for a subset of creatives, made by people that really love the art form.

I prefer Inform6, it's libre licensed.

  Inform 7's source code is published under the Artistic License 2.0 these days: https://github.com/ganelson/inform/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/ganelson/inform/blob/master/LICENSE

I like ZIL, in part to be contrarian, but it actually is an interesting language, both because it is based on a subset of the 1970s Lisp-related language MDL, and because it is the language the Infocom implementors used historically, and these days you can even find the actual ZIL source code to Infocom games and even a few unreleased ones in various stages of completion.
