Reactor vs Core

[eluser]bluemonsta[/eluser]
My 2 cents worth.

Everybody stop whinging and wait to see what the Reactor guys come up with. The community was adamant that it wanted change, and finally they will have it.

If you don't like it, stay with the Core. If you want to see some new stuff in CI wait for the reactor build and get involved, commit some code and let it be evaluated and maybe included in a future release.

Hell at the end of the day fork CI yourself and do whatever you need to do to make your self happy.

If you don't like it, use the community tools to get involved, get on uservoice, show the team that you have some credible arguments / code to include, just don't sit back and snipe.

Quite frankly it beggars belief that there are people who would rather spend time scrapping in the forums instead of doing something useful.

The 'tall poppy' syndrome is alive and well in the CI community and that is bad.

The six guys tasked with reactor are to my understanding not being paid for doing this. They are giving up their time and effort to make CI better for all of us, so they deserve our support, and if you don't like what they are doing either put up, shut up or f**k off. People who give up their time when they could be doing paid work to put bread on the table should not be vilified in the public CI forums.

I can 100% guarantee that I won't agree with some of the things they are doing, but hey I'm an adult first, a php programmer second. Nothing is stopping me from forking their code and applying the fixes / patches / crap that I want to see in a framework.

I suspect that a large portion of the community supports the good work you guys are doing, they just aren't vocal enough about it here in the forums. So for all those people I'd like to say a big thank you and wish you every success with the Reactor build of CI. I make a living building apps, and CI powers a great many of them, I truly stand on the shoulders of giants.
