I would agree mostly.  Let's not keep line by line, but try to keep at least with same methods where it makes sense.
I would also like to add, that if devs in GEOS have new algorithm ideas (or fixes) not yet implemented in JTS, I would hate for us to wait to have them implemented in JTS before we can do anything about them.

The sentiment - "Let's wait till JTS fixes it or Let's wait till JTS implements it", annoys me. 

Thanks,
