I really can't stand that cartoon anymore. Especially since 99% of the time it's used to criticize efforts that are not attempting to be either universal nor standardized. Instead, it's linked whenever anyone does anything that resembles anything that has been done before. I think people try to use it as "ha ha, I get that reference!" But, in a feedback thread, it comes across as discouragement for it's own sake.

I had no intention of criticizing any efforts. One should do whatever makes them happy, and as a frequent user of these libraries, it is to my own advantage for them to improve.
For the same reasons, I have nothing against people who "do anything that resembles anything that has been done before," and I certainly wouldn't attempt to discourage the author. I'm sorry if that cartoon is over-referenced (in attempts to be negative), I can't really control that, but I think it's something to think about when starting a new project (i.e. what is your goal, does it differ from other projects, is that important to you?)
Sorry if my comment seemed like I was shooting this down, I certainly had no intent of doing that.
