"A playground for perfectionists"
Excellent summary of what I am trying to say. Most of us are not
perfectionists even if we would like to be, and we don't have time to
be perfectionists. But we do want useable parts.
There is a step below perfection that is "good enough". If L-Draw
continues to strive for perfection at the expense of all else, it will
be perfect at doing what it does, but what it does will be very little
- too little to be useful.
