In my opinion, 2007 is an excellent codebase. I realize Valve has added/changed/removed some things since its initial release to the public, but generally speaking, things work quite well with very few "required" changes. What I do think stands to be improved is Hammer, but it sounds like they're working on that, so to be honest, there's not much to complain about. Just my two cents...and this conversation should probably stop here or be taken elsewhere seeing as it's a bit off-topic, no?
