There come a point in a project when you hit 'critical mass' and things just start exploding and growing like wildfire. We're just about at that point, and there is a strong desire amongst everyone on the team to see this through.
There is this sense of accomplishment I get... I started a project, it's gone through at least 3 complete re-writes from the ground up, and now it's being used in production. Several components that we prototyped and leveraged other systems as stop-gap solutions (like using MovableType as a content engine), and now we're shutting those down and switching over to the real thing.
Granted, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done, we have a long feature list ahead of us for the 1.1 release, and we're still waiting to roll out the "new" UI. But we've hit the plateau, and now it's no longer going to be as much of an uphill battle.
