compression can be useful. but compression can be done manually.
$ file myfile.wings
myfile.wings: data
compression can also be a real pain in the butt, for instance if I want to use git to keeps track of my changes, merge different versions of files, and the like.
if there is _one_ feature I would like to see implemented is wings is the option to "save in plaintext", so I can use git (and maybe may favorite text editor* to edit files)
*) for that, the ability to select a feature in the GUI and give it an explicit name that can later be found in comments in the uncompressed file would be basically a must
