:) Sure I can understand that.

But really one big reason why MoI has that whole feeling to it is that I try to avoid just sticking a ton of features into it without carefully considering how they fit together and how they'll behave in the long term.

Instances is a really big feature area - implementing it will involve stuff in the display engine, probably stuff in selection, UI and workflow to design to manage them, and probably will impact file I/O in several ways as well.

So it's a really big feature that requires work in an unusual number of different areas.

When doing a really big feature like that, it needs to be planned really carefully so that I don't end up doing it in a wrong direction.

I do expect to have it eventually, but I'm not sure exactly when.
