    This is where I take offense.  Why is it that every program *MUST* do
everything else that every other program does?  Why?  It completely ignores
these two *FACTS*.

1: Not everyone *wants* every program to do everything.  *THEY* represent a
market that you will *KILL* in favor of pursuing an unknown mythical market,
unvoiced, which is already served by several other applications.

2: By insisting that the authors spend time on another application they reduce
the time they spend on this one, reducing its effectiveness to those people
who like it in its current state.

    Please, if you want an all in one answer, go find one and *STOP* trying to
make every software package homogenous!
