That's a rather negative view you have. I'm not going to argue with you right now however, it's late and I'm going to bed. I see little point in that anyway, your mind is quite obviously set, but I am wondering why you felt the need to post at all.
I can't help but think your kind of missing the point TBH. If you lack faith in Natami (and you clearly do), then sit back and just wait and see. If it doesn't offer anything you like then you loose nothing, but it may just turn out better than you think and that's great. Naysaying helps no one.
BTW, the reasons for the closed approach on the RTL code have been stated by gunnar on the Natami site more than once, I have no desire to repeat them so look it up if you can be bothered or just ask on the Natami forum yourself.
