I personally have issues with it because I can't get over the fact that
Portland is building on 'unstable or draft' specifications. Build the
bricks, *then* build the wall. I guess others have difficulties that
we're not encouraging our own toolkit APIs.
I have issues with the wheel reconstruction I see in Portland. I'd
much rather put the effort into making one mediocre platform really
good, instead of spending a lot of time and developer cycles making
two mediocre platforms work more like each other and still be
mediocre, but now mediocre and integrated at a shallow level.*

* Re: portland and also ffox/ooo, I'm disappointed that overall we're
settling for shitty levels of integration when everyone keeps voting
with their feet for an OS whose primary benefit is superior
integration.
