Well let's just say it is up for future discussion :-)

In one set of meetings I referred to "drag car" and "formula 1" - we need to provide both - getting started and staying the crooked course.  

Perhaps that is not all Forge+plug-ins...but it is something I want to keep thinking about.

One thing I was planning on discussing with Lincoln and the Forge roadmap is around the idea of "Forge as a 4GL" - at the moment it feels mostly like a static code generator - which has the problem of schema changes.   But Forge as a 4GL could be more responsive, almost "runtime" code generation.  More like what you get in the Rails world.  :-)

This is exactly where I hope  Forge will *not* go.

Yep.  I like Forge a lot for getting up and going.  It's quite good at that and there's a clear need for it.  IMHO, Forge as a 4GL would be really tough to pull off and would take users' attention off of what Forge is best at.
