I know what you mean, modularity is powerful, but it comes at a cost,
especially in the user interface area. This includes for me that it's
often hard to figure out what a module does and how to use it, simply
how it all fits together to make a working thing. I personally found
buzz/aldrin/neil a bit better in that respect.
