Howdy, First of all, you all know I'm a big MT fan – I wouldn't be here nor posting this if that wasn't the case. That said, let me tell you why more people don't use this fantastic framework. There are quite a few reasons for that being:
1. The website, sucks. It needs refining, put more exposure on links pointing to various MT communities. 2. The lack of a proper plugins depo. It's hard for me to believe Harald (or Valerio) will have the time to finish works on Red... something (sorry forgot the name and can't find the link – which only proves my point). There are a few post around the net compiling a comprehensive plugin list but neither of them are maintained anymore. 3. Documentation sucks. I've been using it since day one and still find it incredibly difficult to grasp. Not even mentioning that the "live search" not working at all (try searching for "$clear", I dare you – http://www.quicksnapper.com/oskar/image/untitled-0013). 4. Demos suck. There's absolutely no one updating them, and the silly amount of them just makes me want to cry myself to sleep (not really, I sleep quite well actually). It the good'ol 1.11 times, the Demo page was always a super-quick way to see how stuff is being done – just grabbing a snipplet and I'm on my way with coding. Now, you need to download the sample code, unpack it, go through the dir structure and find what you were looking for. This is bad folks. 5. GitHub sucks – and that just my personal opinion as I prefer the SVN + Versionsapp.com combo :-) Again, not ranting, don't want to piss anyone off, just saying. MT <3. Peace out, Oskar
