I think the reference to Tiles was rather offhand and incidental and
made solely in relation to another isssue which you are on record as not
interested in, Jim. Missing the point is, of course, forgiveable. We
all do that. When you do so /and/ call someone's thought "ignorant",
that is unfortunate. The main point, that Tiles should be moved,
whether you like it or not, is, I think, valid. I like (love) Tiles and
agree with the gentleman's real point.

That's a pretty ignorant statement.
Why would you say such a thing? How
many people or projects are using Tiles (whether successfully or not)? How
could you possibly know? So how could you know how many problems it brings?
With any product or feature of any software, the more popular something is,
the more visibility (and critics) it generally has. Look at Validator. It
has many critics and many enthusiasts. I have used Tiles on many projects,
and despite the slight extra memory consumption, the pros far outweigh the
cons.
Just because some feature of some product is complex (and maybe poorly
documented) does not mean "it brings more problems than it solves".
If you don't like the way something is, change it. If enough people like
your changes, submit them and they will likely be committed. But comments
like these do not help in making anything better.
