Since I am always out evangelizing  SIW
(http://www.flosoft-systems.com/miai/index.php and
http://www.flosoft-systems.com/blogs/areyh/index.php) I am always
interested in feed back people may have on my approach.    As far my
sales effort here I have no personal gain or loss from BJ being open
or closed (I do 99% of my development from the command line).

The only selfish reason I have is the more products that are SIW'ed
the stronger the public acceptance of the model and thus better for
sales of my company's products (and potentially a better pool of
potential developers for them)... i.e. even though I use and love BJ
for what it is I have no personal stack in this debate.
