Fundamentally the program I'm writing is an experimental program,
rather than a commercial product. Hence, my primary aim is to get a
working version of it that I can release to people, and see if they
like using it. If it's a hit, then it's reasonable to start rewriting
bits of it to make them more elegant under the hood. Otherwise, if the
end user can't see it, it's not a high priority. It took me part of a
day to write the client/server code, so almost any amount of learning
curve for things I haven't used in a while (e.g. RMI) would have meant
that it took longer to get that functionality working.

I'm reminded of the old programming maxim "Make it work first, then
make it work fast". At the moment, I'll make it work at all, then make
it more elegant under the hood. Fundamentally, I *need* people using
it.
