I guess somewhere there's an alternate universe in which there was no ITP and, as a result, OOTP6 was much better. I haven't yet been able to gain entry to that universe, so I have no way of knowing for sure.

Although, I concede, it's an obvious assumption that ITP has disrupted the flow of OOTP development. It's quite possible.

In any event, Mal made some excellent points in his initial post and expressed them well. And it just might light a fire under Markus, et al.

Now if I could just find some way to convince him that "STHU, newbie" is not a witty -- or effective -- rejoinder. (Yeah, Mal, you didn't start it; I know, I know).
