Comment (by dwenaus):

 Agreed, axe the UI.

 The Custom Metaboxes and Fields code has a nice balance of just enough
 features with clean code. Also, their way of implementing the meta box
 array is intuitive. I believe you guys are working on field
 cloning/repeating right now, right? I would like to see this in the first
 iteration as well.

 The WP_Alchemy class, while more powerful, has a codebase 5 times as
 large. Also, it doesn't generate the html elements, it just supports it.
 This approach is more flexible but it's also less intuitive and more work
 to setup. Special cases are better dealt with using filters.
