strangely enough a ton of people *are* working with NAMD and quite
successfully and happily so, thus what you call "important" doesn't
matter to them. you have to rephrase this to "hinder *me* working with
NAMD".

you sound like the guy with six children who bought himself a sports
car and now complains that it doesn't seat whole family. that is why
software has documentation and why smart people carefully study that
documentation and what other people do with a software before they
spend weeks of their time trying to make it work (unless they are
developers, of course, and have the intent of implementing the
features they are missing).
i understand your frustration, but you have to realize that this is
self-imposed and could have been easily avoided.
