We're in violent agreement. It makes me sad to see neat, focused libraries have their mission blurred, API expanded, code base obfuscated... Until they satisfy everybody's use case, which is to say, they're useless. Some features are best left to user-land. It's a non-trivial tradeoff, obviously: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."
