@parismarx How much of that productivity gain is left after you deduct the effort spent fixing the bugs added by using that awesome feature?

It's crazy to take a "fixing its bugs" approach. An innately flawed body of code is not a sound basis: it's like deliberately setting out to use badly maintained legacy code written by a guy who got fired.

Discard it and write it yourself.
