A number of reasons.
I wanted to start from a clean slate.
My first priority was to get the notification plugin going.
I didn't understand how your stuff linked to link-grammar.
I wanted to write something that would have some modularity so we could
try different grammar checkers.

Lovely! I'm looking forward to working on this with you :-)
