Comment on Show HN: Metalsmith – A pluggable static site generatorparent

It's cerainly as sane as sane defaults come, but I agree that if the philosophy is 'everything-as-a-plugin' (another excellent choice for this kind of tool) then everything should be a plugin :)

Now to build something with this, I can see a 'dual write' plugin in my immediate future...

Thought about it a bit more (was actually convinced for a second) but then I realized that that would mean lots of the other plugins would be depending on the YAML/JSON plugins as well. And when you have dependencies between plugins like that things start to get too complicated for the benefits I think.
