I really don't understand the sentiment there. If the app works well and

sounds like there is source available. Ideally, all interaction at the API
level could go through something like dbus and then you could write your
plugin in LISP or BASIC for all anyone else cares. I doubt we are there yet,
but it could be added as we go along.
Or, you could pick up the older GTK apps and finish them up. It sounds like
the shipping apps are a placeholder to get a nice working phone for shipping
Freerunner. It's an open platform, so switch them out if you want the other
ones. Or improve the new ones. Or write new ones from scratch in Ruby.
Whatever. :)
