In my opinion it would have saved thouands of peoplse dozens of hours if 
TER would have been beeter structured. If extensions could have tags or 
troves, if rating would work, if snippets can get attached to 
extensions, etc. etc.

Multiply thousands of peoples by dozens of hours and you will get close 
to a million manhours of work which could have been saved by better 
structuring the TER :( No offense ment but as soon as "_yaXY" (Yet 
another XY) extensions where out there I noticed something was wrong.

I guess the ease of v4 extensions was one factor for the success of 
TYPO3. Every schoolboy could write an extension. Of course the better 
ones "won" and became popular. But still the low skill programmers (Hey, 
how can someone who can program be "low skilled" ?!?!?) were able to get 
their work done.

I guess there would not be enough "high skilled" people out there for 
doing all jobs in an optimal way. Or does your company have problems of 
getting enough jobs? Mine doesn't! *knocking-on-display*
