I would have to say: people. It doesn't matter how good frameworks are, for "some" reason, "some" people decide to write their own frameworks, and they do a terrible job at it. I always land on these companies :). Some examples I have seen in my current and last company:
1. Custom MVC (makes me want to cry) 2. Custom SMTP library 3. Custom FTP library 4. Custom persistence library 5. Custom ajax framework!!!! musachy On Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 7:43 AM, Ted Husted <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Since it's friday, let me pose a question to the group ... > > Even with rock-solid frameworks like Apache Struts, it still seems > like web application development takes longer than it should.
