And I regret that it caused such a commotion. I didn't mean to do it again today. I intended that email to be off list so that I wouldn't appear to be spreading negativity to the masses.

The implication is I do nothing but gripe. I don't think that is true but you may see it that way. > The kicker is, this is the support list for scriptaculous and prototype. and rails. > If you want a better framework, either do your own original work and make > your own mailing list, or contribute constructively to this one. Just yesterday I contributed a patch for prototype helpers in rails. I don't even use prototype. The patch wasn't the work of genious and Thomas had to fix my patch up a bit but I did trigger action on something that was going to break with the release of Rails 1.2. So that could be counted as constructive contribution. > But this framework is not nearly as bad as you are trying to make it out to > be, in fact as I've said before, many very intelligent people (and js > experts to boot) love the framework, myself included... hence the community > here. I don't think experts love the use of navigator.userAgent. If fact, it is probably the one thing they all agree should never be used. http://jibbering.com/faq/faq_notes/not_browser_detect.html http://www.quirksmode.org/js/support.html > And if it's not perfect, It probably isn't even realisitic to shoot for perfect.

I'm sure I've seemed unfriendly to some on this list but it isn't really the truth. I care about quality code in my projects and prototype.js seem to be adding features instead of improving the ones it already has.
