Yes, WordPress doesn't has a ton of features. Has two tons, including video chat, etc etc. Yes, they are plugins made by thirds. Still, in all my "wp life" i've combined a lot of plugins with WP and it worked flawless.
Dolphin is a BIG mess, and this cannot be excused. Andrew told that v7 was "totally new", "from scratch", etc. Now we hear this again, but with 8. I suppose it will happen with 9, 10, 11. Cross my heart! Sounds familiar? :)
You said that right "made by thirds". Dolphin has all of that made by Boonex itself and not by many "thirds"..this is why we should excuse if we find some bugs and not always complain.
If thirds are the solution, than why not develop a base and encourage devs to build this base? Obviously the way things work right now are not the best solution.
