How do you guys feel about the current state of random map generation?

Slige-The early days, showed some real promise, but always likes to make big rooms or long hallways. I think there's a site that generates 32-map megawad still out there

Oblige-The big one and the one that got the most attention. Able to give massive features depending on the source port and offered huge customization with different tabs. Huge innovation with complex rooms and areas, but suffered due to no traps/very plain progression. Which led to two forks.

Obhack-An old-time favorite, It utilized teleport traps/closets. Also had easier to find secrets. Unfortunately had trouble making big areas, was more centered on well developed, smaller rooms.

ObAddon-The only current one still in development and the best. Room complexity that is on par/or better than an average person. Closets/traps/monster turret areas. The only problems still left over is ammo control and finding weapons.
