@ makman94: Those are some very powerful and well-thought-out arguments. I'm certainly in no position to challenge them, but I would like to address a couple of them anyway.
1. SH4 has a lot more to offer than just graphics. The way the campaign files are structured is much more advanced, and allows for many more ships to be added without adding to the loading times. That may mean little, but it means a lot to me personally.
2. Since I was the one who used the phrase "reinventing the wheel" I would like to point out that it was not in reference to a particular GUI, but to the fact that some people were saying that they could somehow put SH4 water into SH3. Perhaps that is possible, but a lot of the graphics are about the water. Since SH4 is basically SH3 with better graphics, why bother to put SH4 graphics into SH3? SH5 is another story. Until ships and things can be ported into SH5, why bother? I personally think SH4 is the perfect compromise, being essentially an improved SH3.
My "reinventing the wheel" comment was about the water, nothing more.
