I always dislike "initial observation" posts because everyone seems to see things through rose-tinted glasses when they first come upon a new programming toy (or new programming tool). Its always more interesting to see the blog posts making observations after a person/company has released a serious project. This way, these people have been using the tools in their daily workflow for weeks/months and know most of the ins and outs of it.
