Hi Eddy,

What I like most about RIFE is that the templating system is great. Everything can be manipulated by code. I'd hate it if suddenly there were a gazillion ways to do the same thing without actually bringing any benefit.

I feel like these proposals just beautify the code, but do not add any real value.

That's exactly what they do! I discussed many times with friends on other IRC channels to understand why even they didn't take the trouble of looking deeper into RIFE. The most recurring pattern was actually the look of the template tag syntaxes. Most seem to have a lot of trouble with it and therefore don't even look further. Providing a syntax that's easier on the eye for people that evaluated RIFE could be a major improvement for the adoption rate. Sadly, it seems to be a lot about perception!

See my blog entry: http://coding.mu/archives/2006/02/19/developing- web-applications-with-rife/

Great entry, thanks a lot!
