Did you try Planetx map editor ?
I got the impression it is a little naif

Nope, I'm writing my own game engine, which requires its own tools, so I haven't tried it. From all the positive things people say about it, I got the impression it was very good, and I've talked with the author on IRC, and he certainly seems to know what he's doing. But it's just an impression.

The point is the comunity
The engine is not dead but nobody seems to visit the forum
Why ?
Just a poor marketing ?

Historically, PowerRender was a very expensive engine, used mainly by professional development companies. It's only been available at such a low price for a few months, so I think it's just that most of the users are professional developers who aren't going to hang out on forums like we do.

I would agree that I prefer an active community personally, but you asked why, and that's my take on it.
