I can’t take credit for the development of Elements, but I can give credit to RM for listening to user requests.
I still believe there are a lot of opportunities for “pro tools” to be developed by third party vendors.
With the cohesive approach that Elements brings to the interface, along with the significantly expanded API and RM’s openness to listening and making changes, I foresee massive opportunities for a wide array of tools and money to be made.
With all the tools referencing the same CSS framework, compatibility between 3rd party solutions will be off the charts!
The future seems bright! 
EDIT: Don’t jump on here to stir up noise. Mistakes were made. People have tried to amend and correct things as much as possible and still stay in business. The past is the past. Let’s move on. Make some awesome websites. And build a strong future for everyone that wants to play nice.
Be the Change-maker!
