Regardless, reality shows many beginners attempt to use it anyway, and I've seen them succeed at it with help from both the forums and the mailing list. > I'm not even using mootools anymore, I'm just trying to point out that > the little guys feels like you don't give a sh*t. Thanks for the > proof. I think you're failing to see the whole picture. All the official developers are saying is that their *focus* is mootools code. And personally I'm glad it is! That doesn't mean they give a shit about novices, and I'm really sorry you don't see that. Stating such a thing equals ignoring all the effort invested by MT devs: the docs, the demos, the mootorial, the blog articles, and so on. As a side note, I've personally never seen a beginner-level resource as valuable as Aaron's mootorial. If you feel MT is not as beginner-friendly as you wish it was, you could perfectly be contributing to the mooforum or writing a tutorial. -- Guillermo Rauch http://devthought.com
