A personal account of the hurdles encountered when studying each of the aspects of crystal engineering, namely, designing, building, and using crystal structures. Examples are given to illustrate the “backbreaking” nature of the crystal engineering endeavor, as well as the limitations of our current abilities to understand, engineer, and maintain molecular crystals.
