Have you considered that this may also be a matter of assigning the
right guy for the right job? Maybe Chris is really good at (and
enjoys) writing the interface code, while he does not want to write
raytracing code (just an idea, Chris!)? It is usually a good idea in a
team to assign tasks according to peoples strengths and likes.

Like I said, I think Chris enjoys writing the interface code and this
is his contribution to the team. Others in the team work on the
raytracing engine, the parser, etc....
