I agree.

    I'd like to see examples where pipelines are express without
    flowscript first. Cocoon output pipelines are easy to learn and
    understand because they are all right there before you.
    
    Flowscript hides logic outside of the sitemap. I'd really like
    to see how far you can go before you break down and start
    writing JavaScript snippits. If you start with flowscript it
    seems like you just end up talking about JavaScript programming,
    which frankly, does not interest me.
