I am not surprised that you are blind to the reason I bring up. Or do you mean to say that you disagree that being a reason at all? Feels odd to me if you argue that my reason for staying silent is not a reason.

You made a tool that works for you - and for others too. That's great. Would be wonderful with a single tool that fits all our varying needs, but currently I don't feel at home with your tool, and don't feel it is small adjustments but instead that I would need radical changes for the tool to serve what I wanted from it. I don't want to try tear apart your tool when it works for existing users of it, and I don't even know clearly what I want instead. I have stayed silent because I had nothing constructive to contribute. That might change now.
