It is true that the Interactive Diagram is the modern version of the Java applet, and targets the same niche of casual opponent. I have no idea how the playing strength compares, because I never managed to run the Java applets either. If these play better, iit would be an incentive to keep them. Now that there exists a trick to run them, perhaps I should try a match.

Index clogging is a general problem. Perhaps we should try to cast the index in a different format, where each variant has only a single entry with potentially multiple icons preceding the short description,  and where clicking the rule icon or descriptive text would bring you to the article describing the rules, (which itself would contain links to additional pages about the variant), but clicking one of the other icons would bring you directly to the corresponding 'special purpose pages' (like GC presets, Zillions downloads, external links, photographs, puzzles, Java applets).
