 * Delete. This is some sort of non-consumer commercial product apparently geared to the needs of people who supervise computer programmers.  This sort of thing needs to be noticed by people outside the programming industry, and the supplied references do not really show that.

As pointed out by Wanari it is also not a commercial product, none of the involved people have made a dime on it and they have no current commercial interest in it's success.  To support the notoriety claim I point to Geertjan's two articles (Geertjan is in no way affiliated with Griffon) and [| this article].--Shemnon (talk) 01:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
