About the library question. As I'm playing with Flora actually, it is really fun to design a tree just playing with the fancy sliders. There is a great control (really), and spending a couple of hours is enough to understand those parameters and get a clear picture on all the possible combinations. Providing some out of the box presets would mean that people could miss this fun part :D. But I'm really not against built-in presets. They are never the solution in production but can be a good starting point (if they are done smartly...).
