I say the following not knowing anything about appget internals.
I hope I could find proper words to express the sour feelings when there's not enough credit given. It's always easy to dismiss something as: "gee, thats the obvious way to do it, there's nothing unique about it". Novel ideas always turn out to be obvious once they are implemented. The foundations of knowledge are based on the same principle. Standing on the shoulders of giants. The contrary, not giving credit, is just the nasty opposite. Appearing taller, by standing on your shoulders.
Exactly. Some "simple solution" might just be the end result of months or years of different iterations. Sometimes you can't know the best method until you've slowly and methodically tried all the worse ones.
