Am I the only one who thinks that DHH has become a bit more civil since Merb has started to get some momentum?
It's easy to have a "f__k you if you don't like my choices" attitude when you're the only real game in town. Suddenly a player comes out of nowhere saying "hey, you can make your own choices!" and everything changes.
These myth posts -- which I really appreciate -- seem to me to be a reaction to Merb hitting version 1.0 and people starting to take it as a serious, light weight alternative to Rails. And one day Merb will become heavy and bloated with a million features and we'll see the rise of another framework. Wash. Rise. Repeat.
