No, it's definitly NOT programming. As you are a php-programmer you can  
look into the code of for example class.tslib_content.php. You'll find TS  
only as arrays, and as far as i know there is no logic in arrays... There  
you see the "logic" in the php-code "around" that arrays, but without that  
php-code there would nothing happen with TypoScript, and if you change  
that code, something completly different will happen with your  
TypoScript-configuration. So it's definitly just a configuration!

:-))) Yes yes yes... learning a complex program which has been programmed  
by someone else is always more difficult than hacking something yourself  
:-).
Btw: I'm pretty deep into Typo3 and didn't find too much inconsitencies -  
what ever that means... it's just a question of trying to understand what  
other ppl thought...
