Chris,

> GeoNodes, metadata, and even all the primitives (Box, Sphere, etc.) could be easily done in a JavaScript library and kept out of the core node set. There would also be no need for TimeSensors or other timing or animation related nodes. You could also eliminate the complexity of Prototypes, which can be done in a JavaScript library.
Your point of view doesn't generalize beyond scripting-centricity. Standard arguments about declarative approaches being superior under many circumstances, especially in markup, apply here.

Best regards,

Krzysztof Maczyński
