Understood. I think it is still useful to have a small core base that you can read and understand and adapt if you want to. Don't like the GUI open file dialogs? Someone did a text based interface:

No need to sync back upstream.

I agree with you that 'Unparalleled extensibility.' might be a bold and difficult to actually prove claim.
