This is another disappointing showing of Valerio making ad hominem attacks to defend his framework.
I like MooTools, and I even agree with much of what his reasoning is for not adopting Sizzle, but the way he voices it is frustrating. First, he addresses a collaborative open source project setting as a short coming of the integration. While I can appreciate his desire to maintain coding style across all of MooTools, this argument is poorly constructed. He then covers himself with this:
Or we could fork it, which would negate any proposed benefits, like having all developers of all frameworks work on a common piece of code.
But forking a project hardly negates the collaborative benefits. Perhaps he is unfamiliar with a dvcs workflow?
