Interesting viewpoint although not something I subscribe to myself. In software
projects, if the knowledge and load isn't shared, there is always the risk of
the main developer losing interest and the project becoming abandoned.
When the team is big, the software is bloated too, and just plain
mediocre :).
I don't buy this either. The team is normally big if the scope of the project is
large. That is why its important to pick software that fits the problem space.
If all you need is a servlet engine use Tomcat or Jetty. If you need all the
features of a Websphere, well then that is what you should use.
It's here:

Ah, it doesn't seem like they link to it from their site though? Scanning their
repository it seems the last commit was 6 months ago?
I'm not sure if Roller is the best example :).

Xinha is just a Javascript editor, independent of Roller. I'm mentioning Xinha
because its also released under an Apache compatible license.
Please note, I'm not arguing for or against Nicedit or Xinha. Only that we
understand the risk of including these libraries with Click because once we ship
them we have to support them. And if the JavaScript library becomes abandoned we
might end up having to replace them, which is a pain as was the case with
JSCalendar/CalendarDateSelect.
