“It’s cool that you are inventing a better Flux by not doing Flux at all.”
–André Staltz, creator of Cycle

I recognize this may be a classic case of me not seeing the forest for all the trees.  I also recognize that I am writing this post before I have gathered the level of intel I would normally gather before writing a post like this.  But, considering my current activities, I figured it could be a long while before I reach that point on this topic.  Thus, I am starting the conversation sooner than later — possibly at my later embarrassment.
