I have not used the parsing functions in OpenToken; they did not
exist when I started to use OpenToken, so I got into the habit of
writing my parsers manually.

I too like the absence of a generator, and I'm used to writing my own
parsers by hand. Did you find that OpenToken helped a lot in doing
that? I've never used it myself because all the languages I've had to
parse were extremely simple (and purpose-built).
