It's that FAQing Jools again!

More opinions are needed I think. Someone e-mailed me asking that the
authoring systems section of the FAQ not get too large. I agree, and so I
thought I might post here and ask which systems do you consider `major', and
which `minor'? I don't mean to play God with these things; I'm sure they're
all lovely, *but* the FAQ can't detail all of the current systems, so the
small-fry only get a mention by name, while the big boys get a longer listing
(main features, platforms, etc). If you have an opinion on this one don't
mail me, post it here instead so that other people can comment. Anyhow,
here's my list:

MAJOR
-----
ADL (?) AdvSys (?) AGT
ALAN Hugo (doing well) Inform
OASYS (?) TADS

[BTW, you'll have a hard time convincing me to move TADS or Inform 8)]

MINOR
-----
Advent Adventura AGIFG
Archetype (big league?) Aventuro DROOL
Figment GAGS Gamescape
LADS Questmaker
