Introducing RM2k/3 users to RMXP or RMVX?

[Guardian]

Lemme see..

1. Higher Resolution = Bigger Graphics = More work
2. Mastered Said Maker already, moving on will be a pain.
3. They already worked so hard in their projects and they want to stick with it.
4. Some of us hate, HATE, copy paste scripts. Complicated reasoning.
5. LAG
6. Simple Features in rm2k3 has been removed and adding scripts just to regain them is pathetic.
7. RGSS itself
8. Converting graphics are blah.

I haven't seen a pretty high decorated game in RMXP that will want me to move into RMXP. I know some but not good enough to move on I guess >_>

I'll answer these as best I can. The main problem I have with using RM2k and RM2k3 is that there aren't any legal English versions, but I don't care if other people use them. I won't think badly of anyone using the illegal translations, but I wouldn't feel comfortable making a game with them.

1. It sounds like laziness to me, which is a bad way to justify not switching.
2. Again, laziness, but with a little of the, "What I know is best," attitude. You can sometimes find that something new is much better if you take the time to learn it. It just bothers me when people dismiss something because they don't understand it.
3. This is a good reason. If you're already into your story using RM2k or RM2k3, it's better to finish it.
4. I'm really interested in knowing your reasoning behind this. We can't discuss it if you're not willing to explain.
5. I don't know how much difference there is between RM2k/RM2k3 and RMXP/RMVX, so I can't comment on this.
6. Again, I don't know what features are different, but I have to agree that Enterbrain's "simplifying" is starting to get annoying.
7. Why? I don't know how to script, so I can't compare how the different systems work, but do you dislike it because of its difficulty, its lack of something, or another reason?
8. It depends on your style. If you like RM2k/RM2k3 graphics, then I can see sticking with the programs, but if you like the graphics because you don't want to switch for another reason, then I'd have to say that you're missing out.

Like I said, I don't care what program you use, but I really want to understand people's reasoning behind not liking the newer versions. Some of your explanations seem like excuses, which is why I'm pressing you to further explain your thoughts.
