Huge fan of the cathedral view. It’s the only thing that makes modding amazing.

Cathedral modding is also similar in ideology to the Unix style of software development.
Each piece seeks to do its job well and without coloring too far outside the lines so that many pieces can come together to satisfy the users needs.
