[...] What would be really good would be a Mac WP that was something like Emacs or EVE, i.e. a basic WP + some sort of language which you can write extensions in. That way, the "standard" users could do all the usual things, but the "Power" users could write their own extensions to the system, distribute them around, etc. etc. Sort of a plug-in module type of thing, perhaps. It would certainly solve the problem of "My WP doesn't do xxx..."
