Pear was great back in the time, in the old days of PHP 3 with pear we had ORMs, templates engines, debug tools, logging, caching and a lot of more tools. The problem was if you wanted to include your new component in the pear repository, that was pretty hard since it was a very closed and elitist community. The benefit of that was that the components were real good and very useful.
Composer is great, is like the new pear, you can find almost anything in packagist, good components and also a lot of shit. That is good because you can have more components and a bigger community but the sad part is that most of the components are zipped shit (same problem that node.js users have with npm). Anyways, for me openness and variety is a good thing. These new wave based in interoperable and reusable components between different frameworks is great, is a good step in the evolution of the PHP ecosystem and his community (not just the language).
