Hang in there.
I've developed models for far simpler and older versions of FS/CFS and sometimes you just spend SO MANY HOURS that you loose interest and your mojo. Developing models of the detail Gordon is doing is magnitudes ahead and exponentially more hours. That's not even taking into account real life that can interfere, it ALWAYS does. Sometimes it gets to much and devs just walk away, sometimes a break is enough and they come back refreshed, we are all human after all. Especially when it's freeware, the impetus to continue is not 'forced' like it is with sub-contractual payware devs.
Also, bear in mind that many developers reach a point of saturation with projects. They say a project is never really finished, but the developer gets fed up working on it and looses their passion for it and releases the best they can considering. There is always more you can do as a dev to make a project better, but at some point you have to call it 'done'. With Freeware this may well be sooner. With Gordon I detect a perfectionist, he is the opposite, freeware means nothing to him, results everything. He has a passion, let him roll with it. God forbid we dent his enthusiasm and drive as we will be the only losers (we all know this has happened prior).
Just my tupence,
