I've been here all along, but mostly watching.

There are people here with much more experience than me at using BiaB. In many respects I only scratch the surface of it. Better that I watch and comment occasionally if something worries me.

I worry about complexity by way of "keep the old stuff as an option". Old stuff + new stuff + option make for complexity, makes for bugs.
Better if PGM can to make a simplified interface that people will enthusiastically grasp ... "Yes, this is good!"

I worry a bit about the occasional "it'll only be a few lines of code", because I know the feeling when someone says that but the reality is that the "small" change means a very substantial rewrite due to some nasty inherrent limitation. I always try my darndest to avoid those, but I only succeeded 99% of the time.

Sometimes asking for something apparently challenging is actually surprisingly easy to do.

In my many years doing requirements capture I spent a huge percentage of the time trying to find out what the client actually wants, rather than what they think we can deliver, without them knowing what are our constraints and our opportunites.
