Actually, the main game loop is generally performance insensitive, and
there's a growing trend that I've seen of writing the "Game" in a
scripting language and calling out to an engine, so "script calls
engine" vs. "engine calls script" isn't quite the obvious choice
anymore.

And debugging sans a real debugger gets a lot tougher.
