What do you think of the RPG Maker series?

I prefer 2003 over any of the others
XP is awsome with graphics that amaze but learning Ruby is not my forte, and the older ones just don't have all the cool stuff '03 has, however '03's limitations kinda bug me too

2000 and 2003 are way too limited, and I don't like XP's 32x32 graphics, I'd prefer to make a 16x16 SNES style game.

They were kinda fun to use back in the day, but now that I know of Game Maker and have used it for over a year, they seem kinda limited to me, even with XP's Ruby-editing-witchcraftery.

2000 is my favourite.
2003 is fine, but I don't like it as much as 2000 for some reason.
XP is bull****. I have never seen an RPG with a 32x32 grid.. all RPGs with that resolution are in 3D, so this totally doesn't serve any purpose, despite you having to put more effort into graphics which look like crap otherwise.

If you want to make RPGs you can definitely use 2000 or 2003.
Even though they are not as powerful as Game Maker or probably MMF, I think for RPGs they're pretty good, if you don't want to waste time programming the whole RPG engine.
