Say No to Composer!

@angrymongol ... you are living up to your handle, at least the angry part.
CI4 lets you use composer if you are so inclined, and avoid it if that suits you better.
This thread is devolving into a flame war, which might be entertaining but is getting off topic.

The original poster asked that CI4 not *require* composer, and we pointed out that it does not.
You *can* use composer with CI4 but aren't forced to.
There are pros and cons to composer, as there are to most supporting technologies (some feel that emailing code between developers is better than github, for instance).
The community feedback about CI4 and composer is good (we can use it) and good (we don't have to use it), whereas many of the other "modern" frameworks don't give you that choice.
