For me, the philosophy is to keep it as simple as absolutely possible.
I'm an eternal newbie, really keen to maintain a way for 'the rest of
us' to have a web framework that:
1. doesn't give you cognitive overload and file bloat,
2. encourages experimentation with a low entry threshold,
3. can also handle serious web development,
4. doesn't take itself too seriously.
As for the distinction between Camping and others frameworks, I
reckon It's enough to say that Camping is the original/archetypal
micro-framework (is it? IOWA?), and the community makes sure it stays
true to its original approach.
The missing part in the tutorial for me is deployment. I have yet to
deploy anything public! But that's anther post.

The camping website (new one) includes a link to a not-existant
wiki page called 'Philosophy', which was inherited from Judofyr's
version. I keep meaning to create this article, but I'm
increasingly wondering...
What do we all feel is Camping's philosophy?
My take: Camping is all about hacking and exploring and having fun,
and certainly isn't serious business. I think it's also for
newbies, including kids, because that's what nearly all of _why's
projects were for.
But that's very past tense. I'm not sure anymore. What do you all
see camping as being? What's it's purpose for you?
