Aloha Nick,

A non-programmer user's perspective.

I'm pleased that the goal of having one source file export well to  
various formats is widely held.  I'm also pleased that "exports well"  
is frequently redefined to a higher standard.  It is impressive to  
watch something as complex as Org-mode created in this way.

I agree with you that it would be more convenient for users if  
features were introduced fully formed.  I guess users get something  
like that by sticking to releases, rather than following along on  
git.  It used to perturb me that Org-mode files that I had worked hard  
to create would suddenly break, especially when these were intended to  
replace LaTeX files, which are rarely if ever broken in that stable  
environment.  I weighed that inconvenience against the good things  
that Org-mode has brought me and decided to live with the occasional  
inconvenience/catastrophe.

All the best,
Tom
