I wouldn't call it “finished”, but it’s been in production since 2006. From that point of view, I suppose it’s “good enough”. It would certainly have more features today if the time spent rewriting would have been used on new features instead. On the other hand, adding features to the current version is much easier than to the first generation.

True. But my good enough keeps getting better :-)
