    Personally, though I find the fan created content for Dundjinni as great resource material usable in many mapping and graphics applications, Dundjinni itself is little more than a glorified image stamping program. I've got it. Though the software was given to me by the developers when I visited their booth at Gencon 2007, because I provided an RPG map printing service, and I'd already been setup to print Campaign Cartographer maps (which is the reason Dundjinni gave it to me for free). I played with the program for about 3 days and decided it was seriously under-powered and under-capable as far as creating custom map work, so I've never used it again. To me the lowest-end graphics applications run circles around Dundjinni as far as capablity goes. Like I said, the images included in the base program are really nice, but the application itself is kind of "meh", in my honest opinion.

    I have Dundjinni too and I don't use it either, or at least haven't for some time. However ... I have difficulty with such a blunt erasure of the program. Dundjinni can be excellent for doing battlemaps and other encounter scenarios, but it starts to run into difficulty when one wants to do overland maps or maps of cities or villages.

    That not withstanding, some of the graphically finest battlemaps posted by guild cartographers were and continue to be made with Dundjinni. It's certainly true that Dundjinni is a tile stamper, but in the hands of someone who knows how to use the program (see Bogie's contributions for examples) it'll match the quality of some of the better maps I've seen here from users of Photoshop or The GIMP. And with Dundjinni, one can make those maps in about 20% of the time that it takes to do the same with Photoshop or The GIMP.
