No one bashes mootools. It's funny how you all say that. We all love it. I used to suggest to EVERYONE starting out with javascript TO use mootools. The way it standardizes everything, creates a single library that works flawlessly across all browsers. Browser compatibly is a huge hurdle in developing with javascript and with that not a concern developers are able to spend more time being creative. That's why you see the wide variety of creative juices with all these libraries. Browser compatibility and flawless execution (at least in some). It is very fluent, and is well documented. It also had a good community. Mootools is/was great for all levels of developers, and I'd rather novices learn the right way off the bat.
But, once again, this is not a bash on mootools. This is not asking for support (unless someone wants to create a company and bill me). This is not a kick in the teeth to all the wonderful contributors and programmers. But seriously. I have stated that sometimes people don't subscribe to this list and surf to the page to find their support. I still don't see that you guys get that. And telling them to subscribe or else is a little too draconian. I'm not trying to get people upset, I'm not trying to get people to provide services. I understand you have your priorities. But read over the responses you guys make to people. You are A-Class assholes. Which you can totally do, you don't ask for money, you don't care about the state of the community. The code speaks for itself. Well it does to a certain point, but I get a LOT more from everyones attitude. There is nothing in the code to make anyone stop using mootools. Remember that. No one leaves your community for the code. You need to think about that people. Why would they leave then? It sounds like the success of mootools has gone to peoples heads. I certainly didn't stop using mootools because the code was faulty. I left because 12 replies to this thread and still no one has acknowledged the scenario where you don't subscribe, get lost in the groups and go to an old blog. Probably 10 more responses telling me to stop demanding support from mootools. Lynch Mob Mentality. Burn the Witch!
