It is much less of a problem for *using* Drill, which is what the team has spent much more effort on. See the Drill in 10 minutes article in the docs. To my mind, this prioritization is correct. But it shouldn't be exclusive either. This is not to say that user-level fit and finish is done by any means, just that people who extend the system will get lots more splinters.
