Out of all of your maps, which one would you say is the most "you?" That is, which one do you feel the closest to in terms of style, gameplay, etc -- or which one do you feel the most connected to and why?

Why do you use so many different programmes when making maps?
Why so many breaks for your maps? You have so many going through at one time, then for some reason, they all go into the bin for a month or two. Only for you to bring them out and finish them.
Why do you make so many maps at one time? Do you not feel this effects quality?
Are their any maps that you wish you could make but current restrictions stop you (xml or size)?
