This is pretty interesting. I find this type of behavior to be everywhere in the software world. If I cannot figure something out with a platform, let me re-write it. Interesting observation is that the number of these "re-writes" is inversely proportional to the experience of the person proposing these ideas.
Good luck to the author, nonetheless it will be a good learning experience for him.
