I don't have the patience to filibuster like SMcNeill does, but it seems like the recent and proposed updates to the PE compiler are comprised of (i) things that the old Team cautioned against, and finally they're gone, so SMcNeill can have fun, and (ii) creating change just for its own sake, simply to be different from QB64 legacy as fast as possible. If QB64 "moves forward", then I should look forward to using it on more devices, in cleverer ways, with more capacity to expand. This comment extends years backwards too: the Team was really just dancing around what Galleon handed them. All vertical movement with QB64 was done by Galleon, anything recent is horizontal. In fact, any improvement people keep making just further crystalize, further snuggle into the same rut. Micro optimization unto death. Grassroots spinoffs have a real shot at breaking the spaghetti ceiling.
