However, it is being presented as the official Sword project frontend. Whatever you think about it as a program, is it the "official best program"? > To compare it with LCDBible makes little sense. I didn't compare it with LCDBible, just said "move it as far down as LCDBible". If you look at the list of Windows applications above LCDBible you will see which applications I am actually comparing it with.
