[Design] Component Nirvana?

[petite_abeille]

Not to bring back dead white elephant... but Taligent had an  
interesting approach to component architecture :-)

"WHY are computers so frustrating? Though most programs have some great  
features, the functions you don't find stamped on the box under  
"features" are poorly implemented or even missing. _There isn't no such  
thing as the perfect program_, they never have everything you'd wish  
they had. [...] Fortunately, among the millions frustrated by similar  
experiences, some people have actually decided to do something about it"

Andy Dent also mentioned Taligent (albeit in a different context) in  
the "paradigm shift" thread:
