I don't think the idea was flawed. But the execution sure was. Most of us thought it was a good idea at the time. But few of us got involved, and those who did just lost interest when things got out of hand. We should have remembered the addage, "Keep it simple, stupid!" In the end you were right. But it would have been worth it, had it all worked out and been what it was meant to be. Of course not! Who says it does? It was an add-on, based on the standard library, not a replacement, obviously. Basically, yeah. But having a portable library of useful routines that implement commonly used functionality means you don't have to reinvent the wheel. And it means that newbies have something to learn from. It also means, since it's a community based project, that it is reviewed, critiqued, suggested, added to, corrected, bug-fixed, cleaned up and made as robust as practical. -- Dig the even newer still, yet more improved, sig!
