Reactor vs Core

Ever heard of DRY ?[/quote]

Is it that hard to maintain your own package that includes all the libraries, etc, that you use on a regular basis? Why force that extra weight on those of us who don't care for most 3rd party libraries, or have our own company libraries, etc?

You don't need to download CI every single time you do a project. It's not updated that often. Keep a local copy, with the extra libraries and basic config already to go. Then use that as a base. Save yourself some time.

It might seem like an easy thing to have a pre configured version of CI ready for new applications, but when you're using over 4 libraries which is very easy to do so, then updating those libraries, making changes and then dealing with new CI updates becomes a nightmare.

I can see how having everything ready to go would be best, that way if any changes were made you would be confident knowing all required files that need updates or complete rewrites would be taken care of for you.
