<p>Holy AI Slop.  
Each tool is a minimal implementation of a concept, rarely complete, ergonomic, useful solutions.  
There is no search, so... how does one quickly get to what they need, on a kilometer long list?  
Most of this stuff should be integrated into a search box.</p>

<p>There are hybrid packages, which are very good for performance applications. A performance oriented conversion, done well, should boost the value.</p>

<p>You would have to provide custom replacement hubs, for all the vehicle types you want to support.
Plus, adding a clutch system to a hub drive is not feasable. So, the hub engines are engaged all the time.<p>I've considered it as a modification for FWD track performance cars. It is much easier to add a hub into a stiff rear axle. Turns out, that adding an electric motor, which is not part of the main engine assembly, ads way too much complexity in controlling the whole thing and weight to power ratio, that it stops quickly stops making sense.</p>

<p>They both have their uses.  
At the extreme, try to imagine Pubg as a web app. There are good modern games that work purely in a browser. But still, there are "applications" that function better as full fledge clients seeping small amounts of data and there are "applications" that function just aswell as dynamically loaded full server-side solutions.</p>

<p>In development, you don't have the privilege of using optimised culling and LODs. For rapid development, very little code is compiled & there are extra IDE tools running.<p>When you consider that 16GB has become the minimum requirement for modern A+ titles (with the Windows OS & background tasks squating on 4-6GB). Creating such a title might be difficult on memory limited machine.<p>Unreal had made some improvements in this regard recently, with direct from storage assets loading & stuff.</p>

<p>This looks great if combined with versioning system. As part of git repor for example.
But, for general journaling, I would not trust something that does not leverage the strengths of a filesystem.</p>
