Reactor vs Core

I think we all need to calm down, not just wired. Codeigniter's stable branch can be seen as a corporate product, Ellislab uses it and thus won't include every possible feature submitted by a bunch of "I can haz youtube" folks. Simply because they either don't like it or don't need it. Reactor seems very promising as it will be run by some of the more "famous" Codeigniter peeps, while I only know Phil and what he does I'm pretty confident the rest will perform well. If they don't they'll be kicked out pretty soon like happened in the past (not going to cal any names here). This however doesn't mean I'm not sceptic about the whole idea and I do see upcoming problems regarding new features in either one of the branches.

So, what the hell is my reason for posting? I'm getting sick of people always complaining about about Codeigniter, it's lack of features compared to other frameworks or people such as Wired who keep mocking others (for whatever the reason). As skilled as these coders may be (Wired being one of those skilled ones) it doesn't give you a free ticket to being a big asshole. There's simply no point in always throwing dirt at others especially if those actually try to improve the very same product you work with.

I'm not going to defend anybody here, everybody has his problems and skills (including me) but for the love of motherf*cking jezus christ, stop being a dick until there's actually something to be a dick about: a physical and publicly accessible repository on Bitbucket. Once that's there you can decide how to think about the product, until then go back to your cave and fix your bugs and shut up.
