I read this and I think, why would I even want to write code for an API that I'd have to maintain far more actively than the rest of my project?

They've even faffed with the basic generated widgets enough for you to have to keep an eye on what works, so you can prepare to fill the same form in yet again to get the same thing working again.

Stability should be the priority if you don't want to piss third party devs off.



Ugh. I did a favour for someone by added some very basic FB integration to his site. I've had to go back 2 or 3 times to fix it and he now thinks I'm pretty incompetent as a result.
