Heh, I get that feeling from a fair number of "modern" things. It's
almost as if all the new frameworks and such that make programming
easier also make it easier to just make a horrible mess.

They've created their own complex way of making things simple. Is what I

gathered from most ``modern'' tech. It's just crap over crap over crap

and crap. I'm sure there are good technical reasons as to why they were

developed but at some you have to ask yourself: ``Maybe it's time to

just create a new thing for this instead of bolting in it into the

existing framework.''
