God no, it's RTP all over again -.-:

4. Multiple tilesets per map.

I like this

Open source C# engine - enhance your games further by adding extra code.

Pretty nice, I'd say.

2. Multiple Platform Support - Your games can be played on Windows, Xbox Live, and
Silverlight.

As well here.

I don't think it'd be the program I'd use, but I think some people with needs for some of these features and can not afford RM could use this, rather than GM.
