Reactor vs Core

[quote author="Dennis Rasmussen" date="1294261951"]As much as I enjoy seeing the earlier work of the 6 announced Reactor folks, I have to agree with Mr. Wiredesignz (non-personal stuff).

I currently have this sad feeling that Reactor is going to be unstable/undesirable because of many factors, where one could be Phil crying out loud about this and that missing feature (yes I'm following his blog and I'm sure you all are because of the repeating hype about CodeIgniter and EllisLab).

Then some of you say that you're not going to bash in 100s of different libraries to the system, but in a couple of posts in this topic already I see about 10+ things you're going to add to the Reactor... 10+... really?

So what's wrong with having CodeIgniter as a core and modifying it the way your want (adding libraries/resources you need for that specific website) rather than being forced to use Reactor because you need this particular feature, which you could have added as a plugin for CI Core instead?[/quote]

Hmm.. wasn't one of the reasons reactor was started was to allow extra features to be brought in? Of course in the early days more features will be brought in and in time less and less features will be added. Your remark about 10+ is because those 10+ features are things that the community have requested time and time again. Just because they may not be beneficial to you doesn't mean that they're not to others.

Really getting annoyed by the number of personal attacks on members of the codeigniter community. The 6 chaps in charge of the direction of reactor do so in their own time; they're not paid, they're not getting anything out of it other than a better framework.

Enough with the bitchin'. If the effort people are putting into the attacks would go towards extra bug-fixing of CI 2.0 or modules / tutorials, we wouldn't be in this situation.
