My opinion is still the same: the framework is NOT a 4GL with strict
ways of doing things, we want to have best practices and flexibility
that does not force a certain way of doing things. We do this for both
utility and humility. That means it's easier for people to mess up here
and there, but it also means that when something weird comes up it's
not a lot of work to handle it. As for designing the tools in the
framework, that comes from doing it manually and trying different
things a lot before designing and building a tool. That goes for all of
the framework.
David,
Thank you for the clear statement of your position. What I'm confused about is this: How is
deprecating redundant pointless methods in GenericDelegator different from deprecating redundant
pointless methods in UtilDateTime?
