I can't see that there's any need to be sarky. Sure, Gerard didn't frame
his point in the way I would have done, but it doesn't mean he's voicing an
opinion that deserves to be sneered at. Sorting out architectural
issuesearly is an important part of project management
. IIRC the VisualEditor has already been delayed by ~6 months because of an
architectural choice that was later regretted. Perhaps they have been
sorted, perhaps they haven't; either way's there's no reason to jump on the
questioner.

FWIW, I am very impressed with the VE myself and I look forward to seeing
it grow and develop from here on in. Ten years too late, mind...!

Regards,
Harry
