Hi, I just received a number of complaints/concerns about latest ant direction from a number of relatively non-technical people (and as such I am not sure if they are valid complaints). As ant has evolved there has been a tendency to reduce the number of attributes in a task and increase the number of elements. So parameters are gradually going from "include" attributes to "include" elements. I was told that this is increasing difficult for average users. While I tend to agree that it increases difficulty I think it is a fair enough tradeoff for added power in general. It does increase the learning curve a little but ...
Not sure - what does everyone else think ? Is it desirable to continue the trend or not ? I would say tentatively that it is a desirable thing to elementize tasks.
