I actually did take Joel up on his offer. But my feature requests are on the back burner for the moment.
I happen to be building a product, that needs what Zengarden provides. Mainly authoring gnarly things like @import, @media queries, pseudo classes, etc, *declaratively, from edn*. That was the main impetus for this tool. I tried, and couldn't get that working with garden. You have to drop down to a repl to generate @import and @media queries. So while I personally need these things, I'm also happy to fold those features, back into garden. I'd actually prefer that, so we can have all of these features in one place.
