Three cheers for extensible architectures. Ken: that’s why they’re not built-in!

I always thought they taste just fine without rocket fuel! I’m trying to figure out why I want a rocket engine (or two, as in the photo) attached to my box of Cheerios.

Over the years I've seen all my favorite features come back, But this one completes the circle. I've got edge flipping and life is good. This is better than the day I discovered vertical maximize under Keyboard->Shortcuts.
