Spent some time messing around with Unity today and. . .I kind of like it,
to be honest.  Give it a few more months of tweaking and I'd be completely
okay with using it.

I am concerned about the 3d graphics requirement.  I know a lot of people
use Ubuntu (and Linux in general) to run older machines, so that could be an
issue.
