If you want to do research into something interesting and worthwhile, you can't expect to just have a fully fleshed out programming environment with no rough edges to deal with. To use an analogy, you're walking behind the guys who cut the trail for you with machetes. You don't get a blacktop highway to where you're going.

A machine that will mow down the entire forest in 30 seconds, or blow itself up, depending on what you tell it. Oh, and that machine has 1014 levers, knobs, dials, most of which are only labeled with single letters, or vague snippets.
