Poll: moving IA to EE-only Options

[critto]

Hi, everybody!

Lately, I have been considering moving Improved Anvil to support only Enhanced Edition, abandoning support for vanilla ToB.

Pros:
1) a better, more modern engine that is being actively supported by paid professionals
2) no need to deal with lots of hardcode, weird nuances and obscure issues of the old engine (tons of time is being spent on reading through forums and researching old issues that have been discovered and forgotten already)
3) the new EE engine has new features that would allow for some creativity, but it is not possible to reproduce them in ToB due to old engine's limitations
4) with great probability, any new-coming IA player would opt for EE these days

Cons:
1) potentially leaving old-time players behind

The only concern here our old-school players who can't or won't move to EE for some reason. To be honest, it's not much of a reason because BG2:EE is fairly cheap and light-weight, comes up quite often in GoG discount sales, does not require significantly more powerful PC, works on every platform (Windows, Mac, Linux). The practical decision here is that EE is better.

I do feel compelled, however, to ask for the community's input. Vote and share your concerns, please.

I am married with 2 children and a very busy life. I hardly find the time these days to play. I hope I get time to play during the holidays, but when I do I want to play BGEE+ SOD ( for the first time ) + BG2EE + IWDEE using EET with improved anvil, Sandrah mod, BGQE, TDD, anthology tweaks and many more mods in one big mod, since I dont get to play frequently.
I dont care about SR or IR. I know adding many mods will make IA easier and some may consider it a cheat but who cares, let anyone play it the way they want, let me install it with many other mods and not be afraid I will insta die once I reach a certain XP level, make it possible to get the robe of vecna even if I dont have a necromancer in my party , dont punish me for not playing a certain style.
I know you cant have compatibility with SCS , IR, big picture, but can it be compatible with ascension and other quest mods at least.
again, thank you very much.
