What would be really good would be a Mac WP that was something
like Emacs or EVE, i.e. a basic WP + some sort of language which
you can write extensions in. That way, the "standard" users could
do all the usual things, but the "Power" users could write their
own extensions to the system, distribute them around, etc. etc.
Sort of a plug-in module type of thing, perhaps. It would
certainly solve the problem of "My WP doesn't do xxx..."

What do you think?
