With the right technical know-how, one can convert an old world to use the new terrain generator or vice versa based on what's been shown in the preview build. I could do this pretty easily if we wanted.

I think Jeb is doing alright given that he still has to work with the mountain of legacy code that Notch had built up until recently. You can't turn one brittle engine into a dynamic adaptive one without some serious thought and refactoring. Jeb's
is actually making steps in the right direction, too, by retaining the old engine and teaching MC to toggle between it and the new based on a flag in the world file. Baby steps…
