I often speak in generalizations and half thoughts. Feel free to cherry pick as much or a little as you want.

Including a core shim of whatever is agreed to be the minimalist functionality with a SEE ALSO note or clue as to where to start would:

* Resolve the basic out-of-the-box stuff.

* Eliminate a lot of boring DIY stuff for people who reach for an editor first and search second.

* Give new users much firmer footing.

* Give some everything and the kitchen sink projects wider exposure.
