I was mostly thinking of indifference to wrongness cemented by institutions. It was widely suspected that Madoff was running a ponzi scheme. But everyone looked the other way, since people were making money - it would go against the institution to say something. Similarly, GWT produces really bloated and complex applications which all look really boring. But the framework was produced by the highest echcelons of "the institution", and that alone is the only answer needed to the question of what to use. GWT is not even a great example, better examples would be Interwoven Teamsite, VBScript and Cold Fusion, selected due to their corporate roots - the notion that corporate- driven products are the better selection strictly due to their corporate roots. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
