Is the inconviently deep tree data structure housing an OO framework really so important that it should be discussed front and center on HN? Isn't the function of the framework more interesting? Honest question.

People who might want to understand the code and make changes in order to take advantage of it will care about form. It matters. I often pick tools based not only on function, but on how easy it will be for me to make changes or maintain the code base if necessary, and I doubt I'm the only one.
