You're absolutely right, Derek. I credit Sean and Brad with all that they do (and have done).
I use blackbox because it is lean and fast, and when a new version comes out, it is leaner and faster. Most of the features/configurations I could really care less about, but I'll say this: I'd rather adapt my usage or learn a new method than have the wm get slower. I'm definitely a fan of configurability, but for something like a window manager which is usually so ever-present, we should always be mindful of the impact of said configurations (read: feature creep, code bloat).
