It's one thing to make a constructive comment about a prouct, but no one
   asked for your attitude about a product that you've never even used. You
   may not have noticed, but the people at Apache aren't stupid, and
   generally all of their products exist because someone with real-world
   experience and skills needs it.

I personally am a big fan of separating presentation from programming logic
   cleanly, but that doesn't give me the right to judge products which
   don't do this, and it doesn't mean that the separation is best for _all_
   situations.

Had a look. Instead of making a clear seperation between presentation
and functionality and easing the persentation design/review, they try to
obscur the persentation so that it becomes reviewable only by starting
the application.

And instead of

<html><head><title>Demo</title></head><body><h1>Demo Header</h1><h3>Sub
Header:</h3> <font size="+1" color="#FFFFFF" face="Times">The big dog &#38;
the little cat chased each other.</font></body></html>

I'd prefer something

<HTML>

<HEAD>
  <TITLE> Demo </TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
  <H1> Demo Header </H1>
  <H3> Sub Header: </H3>
  <FONT SIZE="+1" COLOR="#FFFFFF" FACE="Times">The big dog &#38; the little
cat chased each other.</FONT>
</BODY>

</HTML>

Isn't this more "human-readable"?...

It seems it's that kind of tools for monkeys who think it's convenient
until they get into nonplus.

  vectors smaller
