> Why would somebody contribute to something they don't use or dislike?
You're right, it was confusing. My point is really that if you think you
have a better solution, then that's great. If you can change the existing
solution so that it overcomes your complaints, great, do it! Either way,
build the community up and make it better, help others by sharing...
>From some of his blog postings it was apparent that Sean was a little
apprehensive about Fusebox. When Mach-ii came along, instead of just saying
"yeah, I don't like that either", he has gotten involved and is
contributing. I think that's great.
It's very easy to complain about everything without being constructive about
any of it. In this case, I think something *very* constructive is happening
with Mach-ii.

I find this a little confusing
Why would somebody contribute to something they don't use or dislike? If
people don't like the way the framework is laid out, or the way it's
designed to be built, then why would they try to use it, which they'd
have to do to add to it
Using a comparison, what you'd suggest is that vegetarians make meat
products rather than "throw stones" at meat eaters - you're suggesting
that they become involved in the industry to improve it rather than
complain about it...
I tried an early version of FB and it just didn't work for me - by the
time it evolved into something usable for my sites, I already had a
framework of my own which was heavily in-place - so why would I drop
everything I had spent years developing just to contribute to a system I
didn't use?
