Jon,
you are, of course, entitled to like or dislike aspects of the design of 
deal.II. I would, however, request that out of general fairness (i) you 
leave the evaluation of whether this design is actually useful to those 
who use the library in their daily work, (ii) not judge us on the 
constraints journals impose on the formatting of sample code, (iii) go 
read our documentation -- you may not like doxygen, but we try very very 
hard (and spend a quite significant amount of time) documenting deal.II.

Best
 Wolfgang
