I apologize if I've been too long-winded. The original nitpicky part
was a response to someone asking for specific examples of things
that are broken about the interface. I probably should have
taken it to email at that point, especially before using slangy
words and expressing strong opinions in a trade group.

Well, no, actually what I meant (and, upon re-reading, seem to have
said) was more like "IDL is based on a sound idea, but it isn't
implemented well enough to be worth $1500".
