Once upon a time..............
(Yeah things start with that to this day!)
The only way to work with the files was in Hex.
Most of the early tools did that even if one did not know it was hex work.
Some of the (Actually all the best) Modders worked the files in Hex.
Those were the days before S3D which one person called a "Dumb down tool"
On that I have 2 opinions.
1. Yes.
It did open the door to just being ignorant of the TRUE file structure and hoping it would do EVERYTHING you wanted to do.

2. No.
Blended with a GOOD Hex editor? One can do things in less time than S3D alone can never do.

In Modding SH series of Games always look for the best Tools and ways of doing it. Years of modding with subpar tools have lost a lot of good modders.
