Yes, and Improved Anvil is bugging them, a spike in their flesh. They call you ignorant and often criticize Improved Anvil, but I bet they would sell their own mother if they could become known as an author of a mod such as Improved Anvil!
In principle, they could have made mods with Improved Anvil's quality if they knew what was required for that and if they wanted to follow the requirements. The reason behind Improved Anvil's quality is not that I'm a genius (simply because I'm not a genius). The reasons for IA's quality are relatively easy to explain:
Other mods are typically created in creators' leisure time and mostly for fun; whereas, Improved Anvil is a professional work made by people who do it as a dedicated job. We (testers and myself) have spent countless hours working on this mod; we test, we sit and think and discuss every tiny aspect of the mod with each other, we implement changes and test again, and we repeat the same process for every feature of the mod several times.
We don't wait for some random leisure time to work on the mod; the mod is part of our daily work (see the difference?). If those people who have a grudge against IA had understood these differences, they would have known that the reason they have not reached the same level of quality is simply that they have not invested the same time, dedication and effort. It's simple math.
In fact, here we see two completely different fields of work; they work in their leisure time, without proper testing and adequate dedication and mostly for fun (amateur work); we work on regular daily basis with full dedication and even spend money on the work (professional work). These are two completely different fields; there is no real competition going on if you ask me (just if both sides understand and admit the major differences I just explained). When they understand that we are not competing each other, they will hopefully stop attacking us (they will probably still continue stealing parts of our work, but we will also probably let it pass
).
