That's a sad, but respectable position to take. Extending, enriching
and transforming the Journal is a key thing for Sugar.

Of course, it is good to see exploration and experimentation in
Activities that do Journal-ish things, but the Journal is a central
element of our usage model, so I hope it incorporates new tricks
(perhaps new tricks explored in separate Activities).
