I never took "opinionated" software as "no configuration". For me it's always been "custom defaults". It might provide some configuration, it might not, but what makes it opinionated is the fact that the defaults are not generally applicable, but rather tailored for a specific use case.

Hmm, you're probably right, that's a better definition of opinionated.

That said, I think it'd be really difficult to work around Elder.js' opinions.
