Once you have a system that exists, you can argue that your design is better
than another system that also exists. Until then, your criticism of the
design of applications that do exist is not very compelling, IMO.
Designing massively modular, flexible, extensible systems is easy. Designing
massively modular, flexible, extensible systems that have a prayer of working
as advertised is basically impossible.
