+<p>
+  I started ASE development about 10 years ago. It was originally
+  programmed in C language. Recently I changed it to C++ and started
+  to refactor some code. Anyway there are big parts of source code
+  which does not follow "good design" practices, and maybe those parts
+  will stay just like they are for a long time.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Refactoring code to improve the design of the application is
+  something I love to do, but users do not appreciate it so much.
+  "New features" and "fixing bugs" are the main goal, then refactoring
+  (and avoid incorporating new bugs) should be second priority.
