[split] CodeIgniter 3.1.11 Released vs CI4 Rants

People don’t like change. It was one of the reasons CodeIgniter 3 was wildly popular (it was a near-seamless transition from 2) and why the outside community ridiculed it (it lacked many new features from PHP). I imagine many won’t transition to 4 out of loyalty, familiarity, or fear of the workload in converting old projects... but this is a very necessary step to stay alive in our modern web development world.

The way i figure it i don't have much choice but to go for CI4.

My old micro framework is not being maintained; i currently have 4 websites using it with php at 5.4. Sooner or later we are all going to have to use php 7+.

I looked at alternatives(i'm on slackware Linux) I don't understand that on some other  frameworks I have to go to the hassle of installing vagrant, virtual box etc ( I hope CodeIniter never goes down that road )

There doesn't seem much point in playing with CI3

My thinking is I don't have to switch yet, but if i play with CI4 now by the time I have to make the switch I will be ready!
