Rod's message is a fair bit more nuanced than the headlines and soundbites would suggest. He said that OSGi productivity is low compared to "traditional" Java development, and it may surprise you to hear that I agree with him on that point... currently.
However I don't consider that a reason for giving up on the goal of building modular software. I and several others believe that OSGi can actually be made *MORE* productive than non-OSGi development, and we intend to prove it by building the tools that SpringSource failed to build. I do think that SpringSource could have solved this problem as well, but they chose to focus on products like tcServer that were easier to sell and provided faster profits. Actually this created opportunities for smaller companies so ultimately I'm grateful to them.
