So far it seems Stefano ( who is not currently a very active tomcat developer) is pissed off by the decisions made on tomcat-dev. I don't see too many tomcat developers flaming each other.
IMHO most ( or all ) tomcat developers agree that both code bases had some good and some bad parts. I also think most of the tomcat community is behind 5.0, which is a merge of ideas and code from both 3.3 and 4.x. And I think users were very well served, and the outcome is one of the best possible. In the end we have a far better community and a lot more tolerance and understanding.
