Anyone tried gtkRadiant?

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried to use gtkRadiant from http://www.qeradiant.com/ and if you have what your thoughts are on it.
It looks like a great tool to me, and I think it can export to a format that our tools can use.
Anyways thoughts?

No idea why, and gdb is not being really helpful in the matter.
So currently what are the options if any for someone using TGE to develop assets under linux?

No biggie, so I downloaded and installed it, the thing segfaults on me as soon as I try to create a new map.No idea why, and gdb is not being really helpful in the matter.

Wine and Cartography Shop or QuArK...which aren't optimal in any respect.

If you loko about, someone's trying to get blender to export .maps, which would be cool.
I contacted ID a while ago about radiant licensing, and it was made clear that it's 5 grand.
Of course, if you want to release your game for free [if you release it at all], knock yourself out on radiant, it's easily the best tool for the job.

Actually, I think that boiled eggs would be a better analogy.

I wish it would spit something out letting me know what it's choking on, but even GDB appears to be no help at figuring this out. Oh well.
Let's hope someone can get blender to export .maps under linux, I would be willing to pay some bux for a way to make assets under linux.

As I said, free or otherwise on my setup at least the only thing it appears capable of doing is segfaulting :(I wish it would spit something out letting me know what it's choking on, but even GDB appears to be no help at figuring this out. Oh well.

Well I finally got the thing to stop segaulting (had a bad OpenGL config) anyways looks like a great tool, too bad about the licensing issue... Gotta wonder though with that license, whether it would be worth learning. The docs are so out dated it appears that there are no plans for a linux version LOL.

For those keeping track - that's roughly $4,900 more than you spend on Torque as your game engine.
Go figure. =\
