What is wrong with having more and better features? What is the added value of removing features?
At the time, Leaflet was considered to be the better overall framework, with nicer looks and better usability on mobile devices, and much smaller load times on slow connections due to its compact size.
It was a relatively quick and painless move if I remember correctly, and nobody complained at the time.
The fact that the double-click-to-centre-map functionality went away at that time went unnoticed (I am surprised because I occasionally used it as well).
It certainly wasn't a clear decision to "remove a feature" - it was just that Leaflet seemed better.
Nobody's saying that Leaflet must stay forever; I have heard that with recent improvements to OpenLayers, some people even switched back to OpenLayers after using Leaflet for a while. That's an option we certainly have available; or we can improve Leaflet to add what we feel is missing.
But nobody has "removed a feature" on purpose. Bye Frederik -- Frederik Ramm ## eMail [email protected] ## N49°00'09" E008°23'33" _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
