   I gather that other folks here would point to something that begins   
   with "Red" and ends with "Hat," but for myself I'm content to point and   
   laugh at the antics of diva developers who literally spent a year   
   pushing back on the idea that they should offer functionality so basic   
   that *every other extant GUI* has it with the You Don't Need That, the   
   This Is Actually By Design, and the Anyway That's Not Possible lines of   
   argument...   
      
   ...only to back down sputtering when enough people maintained that they   
   *did* need it that they risked losing their bid for dominance, and all   
   of a sudden it became Magically Possible After All - which they could   
   have done *a year prior* if they weren't so pointlessly pigheaded.   
      
   That's *funny,* that is.
