You write the games in plain english instead of gobbledegook programming languages.
text adventures are still being written

oh...went to the web site, it's for Macs, at least on a short read. For some reason, parts of the screen don't display.

It is definately a step up over Adventure Game Toolkit. I like the idea, but I've never been able to find the focus to do the planning needed to make an Inform game that's up to the standards I would want in an IF game.

The best part about inform though? Parsers. Parsers EVERYWHERE and for Every OS.

That is so true, I managed to get a test version working, but when I sit down and start planning, its gets complicated and detailed very fast.

Yup for osx, ios, linux, android and that other os!
