No I often pragmatically give up and move on, which is actually a good recipe for getting things done.
I "gave up" on a wysiwgy editor for the forums 15 months ago.
I gave up on a lot of web templates that didn't work easily.
I have "given up" on getting Beryl working on my FC6 box for now.
But there is a world of difference between realising something is too bleeding edge to be safely done, and being lazy about things.
