Yuck.  Surely you are joking...  I find it hard to be inspired by any aspect

While it is true they have a spreadsheet and crude typing tutor, both GUI
and apps seem pretty awful.  And I don't know what to say about the demo

'display' under a tree.  The whole strikes me as hard to fix, whether or not
it is dropkickable.
