Incredible amounts of easy and ready-to-go templates and wizards are to be

Open-source generally just provides the essential functionality and leaves it to
the user community to provide added value in the form of documentation,
tutorials, plugins and templates scattered through many websites... ;)

*Anything* compiles extremely quickly compared to C++.  Just don't perform the

Except, of course, if it really is a wrapper to underlying functionality written
in C/C++...
