Ok. Now you are getting personal (by comparing to Turbine) and making a complete fool of yourself with your ridiculous FUD statements. BOX is just another wannabe web framework that is inventing yet more technologies and claiming to be the 'best' because you happen to like it and it works for you. p.s.
