If you go and read your replies to my messages throughout this thread you may notice a pattern of you trying to contradict almost everything I said. When you ended the phrase above with the word "Touché", it seemed that winning the argument was very important for you. Robert, relax! I am not in this thread to compete with anyone. If expresses disagreement with me, I think to myself that since I am not a native english speaker, I may have not expressed myself clearly. Therefore, I try to explain myself better. If you still disagree after my explanations, that is ok, I will not be upset because of that. I am not making myself important. My opinion is mine, yours is yours, neither is necessarily better than the other. There is no need for manifestations of excessive joy, as if winning an argument is a big deal. That is my opinion, of course. >> I do not have a problem using other people's code, my problem is relying >> on packages that need to be evolved to address my needs but I do not >> control of their development.

So what are you complaining about? I was not complaining, remember? I was just explaining that unlike you stated, I do not have a problem with other people's code. I just would rather not rely on packages that I don't control their development, as it may cause inconvinient effects to the progress of my projects. Somehow, I explained that in my post with advice for instance, of excessive framework class interdependencies, PHP 5 dependent frameworks, frameworks developed by people that did not try them much in real world applications, etc.. >>> >From your earlier statement, he could supposedly choose a framework just >>> from browsing the source code.

For your benefit I've pasted > below my original comment: I am afraid that you still do not get the point that I wrote an article that I wanted to be green, it is written in the summary that it is green, so people that do not like green do not bother reading it. Still you are complaining that the article is not red as you think it should be. What can I do for you? Nothing.
