I completely agree. I'm surprised at the level of negativity towards CL here. I would expect a community of hackers to recognize a highly generic solution like CL when they see one. The only critique I would give is that if CL were really trying to be a generic platform that does a decent job at solving a myriad of problems, then they should open themselves up and have an official API. Right now all of the CL mashups do some kind of scraping to get their data.
