So, if everything you want isn't provided to you, it's not serious anymore?

Since 90% of the web is complete garbage, the definition of "serious web 
development" is difficult to define, but I'm fairly sure close to 100% 
of web development done with Kepler has been serious.. (and leading to 
the conclusion that someone who does serious web development probably 
knows how to deal with html)

and either way, it's available on the wiki
