I think you'd have alot more friends around here if your goal was to help develop Wine. As it stands, WineTools somewhat impedes testing and bug reporting of Wine versions of dlls (eg. ole32, oleaut32, rpcrt4) since you encourage your users to use Windows versions of those dlls, even though the Wine ones work for many applications.
IMHO, the Wine developers should spend less time b*tching about Winetools and more time figuring out how they can 1) build a front-end that is better than Winetools, or 2) help improve Winetools so that it works more to their liking but still offers an easy, user-friendly interface.
As Joachim states, his "goal is not to develop Wine". That's kind of incompatible with the goals of "Wine developers", isn't it?
