I find myself in the uncomfortable position of agreeing with Neon John
again, but I won't single out any of the individual features for criticism.
I will go a bit further and say that *anything* not directly related to core
audio player functionality should be a plug-in that one has to *add*, not
something that has to be actively removed. I have no problem with optional
plug-ins for calculators, video viewers, voice UI, or games -- as long as
they remain that: optional plug-ins.
