I just want to offer my perspective as someone who has a lot of experience in some very professional software development organizations. You're doing a superb job of resisting feature-creep, and keeping focus on the original design statement. In other words, you're avoiding some of the most common reasons that projects fail. This takes a lot of discipline.
