Like with auto*hell, the idea is retarded, so the implementation can't not suck.

People are retards that should get a life, and developers that can't
pick bearable colors should not pick colors (just ask for advice from
an artists as Rob did for acme and rio). Layout algorithms are more an
intrinsic part of the application and should not be considered 'an
option' (and configuring them via a .h file is plain idiotic),
shortcuts are part of the UI which should be sane and consistent.

Werc has few (if any) options that are not intrinsically linked to
*functionality* whatever a page is a wiki or a blog is not an 'option'
it is simply a different functionality part of the same app, and
things like page titles are also an intrinsic part of the application
(just as an app name is not an 'option' in a window manager but an
intrinsic part of its functionality).
