I concur totally.

But the most important thing we can steal... is ideas. ;)  And when you
steal ideas and implement them, you still get the thrill of invention.

If your project became usable and did the stuff I wanted, I would never
look at mine again. :)

So even if you don't like my architecture, please try to allow for the
possibility of all the functionality I've imagined.

In other words, I urge you not to construct a framework in which certain
things become impossible.

Good luck...
