In reply to Joe Hoyle.

Seriously.

you probably need to get our the bubble and try some others.

Oh please.

It's not an arbitrary choice of some favoured tool.

This is choosing a future direction that impacts whether people are going to find it easier or harder to get into WordPress.

It's whether developers are going to feel free to use their own tools without a platform that has been traditionally unopinionated forcing the decision on them.

This is about whether we are going to hitch our wagons onto a Facebook project which operates contrary to the spirit of the open web and some of the most deeply held organizing principles found in the WordPress community.

Trivialising this as some kind of superficial pragmatic choice to be made is deeply ignorant in my view.

And even if it were just another choice to make, no 2 frameworks are the same. Nobody is holding a referendum on the quality of the frameworks. This is about fit.
