Yeah thats it and sometimes two different philosophies can't be just
married with each other. Mutual exclusive.

Thats the point with Glame. It's model view controlled, thats why we
need a bit more time to get all the functionality that apps have, where
all the editing code is somewhere inlined in the gui.

Yes.

It's not just contributing to some code base, someone has to think of
software architecture and all the other contributors have to stick with
that design. That is the way the linux kernel development goes as well.

Ah, so why do we have zillions of different shells, editors, desktops
then? Anyway this is hobby and people do whatever they like to realize
their visions. And as I said before it's not just sticking to programs
together and they have double the amount of features :)
