Arrrrgh.
I'm at an impasse. I want to respect the work of my predecessor, but at
the same time, I want to totally eviscerate the project. There are
fundamental things I don't like about the architecture of the
application, and I've been mentally wrestling with myself trying to
fight the urge of evisceration. The project is a prototype. So, I guess
evisceration is an option.
The plugin architecture feels broken to me. Part of me keeps telling
myself that its just not designed to my way of thinking, part of me
keeps screaming a UI component such as a form should not expose
properties fundamental to the plug-in such as plugin name, etc...
Obviously the way it was designed makes sense to someone :/

Plus, they've broken the Visual Studio form designer by making the base
class abstract (I agree the properties describing the plugin should be
abstract, I'm not sure about those properties on the form)

why are they your predecessor? did they get fired for doing a bad job? if
that's the case then very quitely make the project your own and start from
the ground up. I've gotten away with this on more than one occasion. If
management is clueless whose to know!!!!

I tend to agree. Some times, it's way faster to restart from scratch than trying
to decifer some obstruse code that you can hardly understand.

Well, after discussing the project with my supervisor, The project
didn't really fit with our coding standards, and was hastily hacked
together by the aforementioned predecessor anyway, so... I eviscerated.
It feels so liberating :D
