I've been using OS a lot lately and i really think this tool is very important and useful but there are a some basic issues with it that need to get fixed for it to really be useful, and they don't seem like a big job to fix. I have itemized some of them here for convenience that have not recieved resolution through the normal posts.

I am an engineer not a software programmer so comments about "just reprogram E+ manually with this code..." is just not helpful and that's not my role.
