What makes Ceretropic's Caffeine/NALT special?

I am too close to these projects to not let emotion into the equation.
Any passionate person has struggled with this. Hell, even something as simple as a lowly college paper that I'm proud of can really irk me if the professor thinks it was crap, or even worse, accuses me of plagiarism.

Then I got food poisoning just before her surgery, which was a ton of fun! Haha.
