Gaea 2 vs WorldMachine

I’m also curious as to see what it will bring to the table. For me, the biggest strength of WM is the number of very simple, basic devices you have at your disposal. This is helped by the fact you can decompose the more complex data types, such as the water type, allowing for some really intense manipulation, and extracting information. A lack of such functionality, would really be a deal breaker for me, so I’m wondering if this version of Gaea will also allow for that, or if it will still remain more superficial.
