Yes. If someone had promised to stick with development of TWC for 25 years, 
that's the route I would have gone. Once a product is orphaned (or even 
semi-orphaned), plugin development ceases and there's no guarantee that it 
will survive browser changes.

Nested lists work typically by changing the environment inside the 
<$list>...</$list> (call it LL) set. Inside the environment, the 
"currentTiddler" is switched to whatever the outer list sees. Each inner 
list takes the prior LL as it's starting point for it's filter -- UNLESS 
the outer list specifies a variable instead of the default. The problem 
with LL is that it's not a real loop where you can do things like apply 
logic. Any logic would have to be applied inside the filter. But there are 
currently almost no core logic choices in the filter options, though there 
are requests outstanding for months. Also, each outer LL hands it's 
environment to an inner LL one by one, so the inner LL can not collect and 
sort the final results 

So .... <$list> is NOT an complete replacement for the for/while plugin nor 
easily being able to use your own javascript.
