But the program is nicely configurable, and does work rather well. Well, it's still a thing made with yucky Java, but at least now it includes its own runtime of it, so there's no ancient security risk, system polluting, full Java install required anymore! Of course, being Java, it's a RAM, CPU, and disk space hog.
