My thought is:

1) Have the framework be as flexible as possible (which is what you
all have done a great job with)

2) Have the documentation (maybe not all of it, but especially things
for beginners) recommend a single "best practice" way of doing things.
 OK, maybe not a *single* way in every case, but stick to a limited
set so as not to confuse people before they ever get started.  I
believe this has been a priority for Jesse in his recent documentation
updates (and I have tried to do that with the tutorial).

So, I agree re the code, but think at least "starter docs" should
limit the number options they present.
