If a first year student of mine cannot distinguish data and code (s)he'd ge= t an F grade. customize does that. Proof of that is that it throws random = crud at my init file when I am not looking. Mostly I get away by keeping t= he custom file as its very exclusive garbage dump. But with all my care it= still occasionally stomps my (ie my init's) toes. So no customize is not written for wimps, its written by wimps Of course if Drew is saying that customize is good for *exploring* options,= I agree.
