I think crossfilter is a huge success and amazing project, in spite of its small size. Why? The code hasn't been updated in 4 years and it still works.

You don't have to be constantly tweaking and tweaking everything all the time. Crossfilter is like the I-Beam of construction.

I wish we could do this with more computer science parts. Building something amazing and leave it alone. Move forward. Stop spending all our time inventing and learning new libraries, frameworks, architectures all the time and get stuff done!
