That day you spent mucking around with gypsymail you could of wrote your own. Just exactly what you needed and left the kitchen sink where it belonged.

The purists that stick to strict indentation so as to try reading some code requires repeated L-R scrolling really PO me. A trick I learned is to replace all tabs with a single space, it helps some. But python, I hated from the start. I will revisit it in a while again. I was a perlhead for years and did not really like php much but V4 got better and I decided to use it for a script and found I liked it.

One thing in C,C++ favor is this, it is not really very hard to learn the basics. Learning to make a GUI and tie the code in is the challenge. For web use a small C/C++ app is extremely fast. Lots of large busy sites use small C/C++ apps to get things done.

Basic???
The main reason is it lacked functionality to match the hardware growth as well as apps got larger and numbered lines just kinda started to suck.

I've been playing around with AJAX and using php for the server-side work. Interesting stuff.
