I’m not going to say they’re ready for general public daily use but there’s no reason they one day couldn’t be? There’s a foundation there. With a good enthusiast community we could get it to the point that it’s at least useable for power users and grow from there.

Foundation? Well, consider me corrected, I'm clearly ready for pound town.
