you have to understand how frustrating this is. it happened when MVEL came out and now its happening with t5. our users read about something new and shiny and then post emails like yours to the list without doing any research. so what happens then? it us, the core developers, who have to go out and spend our time doing the research. our user list has about 500+ users, and there are less then 10 core developers, its not a good ratio to be on the receiving end of. we already spend _a lot_ of our personal time helping our users with wicket, but when it comes to these theoretical comparisons it just gets annoying. it wouldve been much nicer if you did the research and provided an initial comparison yourself, is that too much to ask for/expect in your view? then someone from the core devs would fix whatever they thought was faulty. but your message really sounded provocative/trolling.
My post was intended to elicit a response to help keep people interested in Wicket rather than straying to a competing frameworks - just expressing a concern about what could happen to some, not to me, and knew that you guys would be the best at addressing. You didn't actually have to research & respond but I'm glad you did. Since it is helpful to you and makes my posts less scary troll-like, I'll do as you request. :-) Perhaps you can agree that this would have been a better ending line in your first post "it wouldve been much nicer if you did the research and provided an initial comparison yourself" or even have had your entire post been "Please do the research and provide an initial comparison yourself then someone from the core devs could fix whatever they thought was faulty." Thanks, Jon
