I like speed. I like lean and clean. As much for the usability as for the engineering aesthetic involved. Brad and I are working on making the guts work better. Yes a few features are going to come in. Code has to grow and change or it dies, just like living things. But take me on my word, as long as I am hacking on blackbox the original blackbox ideal of visual minimalism and leanness will be the guiding force.
