On the one hand I fell in love with the word "nimble" (We have to do something cool based on words like "nimble" and "swift" one day - I don't know what but I will bribe you till you do it Sebas, we can't let those two words get to some marketing department somewhere)
On the other David has some good points - "performant" although fiddly is a better word I think. Also this thread is GOLD - keep the critique coming everyone I am taking notes like paper is going out of style.
