1. If enough people decide not to invest in MCL because they think it's
not improving it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

2. MCL is improving (albeit slowly) due mainly to a small but dedicated
cadre of volunteers

3. MCL is pretty damn good to begin. Even without improvement it's a
damn good development environment (still my personal favorite).
