Though not fully supporting SH5, in some cases s3d is still a valid tool.

Nevertheless, learning to use Goblin Editor and TDW's GR2 editor will greatly extend the range of SH5 aspects you will be able to mod. I suggest you to read this post for further details.

Some of the newer guys saw some of the older guys as elitist ego maniacs who would harbour the tools they created - by refusing to to share, they were putting themselves first.
While some of the older guys saw some of the newer guys as leecher types, who wanted to exploit there work for an easy ride - or just used there tool as a base for plagerism.
Both were right and wrong on different occasions, but it did make for very unpleasent atmostphere, one that the subsim community is much better without now.
The bickering and drama got so bad at times, that it caused some really good people to simply throw in the towl.

On top of that a war broke out between some ATO and PTO fans. It is with regret that I have to admit that I was apart of that myself, I feel pretty pathetic when i think about it now.
Interesting story. It explains a lot about the controversy that some time ago blew up between some SH5 and SHIII/GWX supporters. I was sure that there was more behind it than I could understand at that time, given my limited knowledge of the SHIII/IV/5 "extended family".

Hopefully the misunderstandings are worked out now, and the general atmosphere is much more relaxed.
