I used to think that way, but I have come around.

From my point of view, API gluing frees me to go do the fun stuff while
minimizing the brain load to handle infrastructure.

Yeh. I am not hard core about that. For instance, I just grabbed Gnuplot.py
for the little boat design thingy. Since the program itself is only about fifty
lines of Python it does not make much sense to write thousands of lines
of graphics code to support it. Also the math routines are from a library, etc.
