Jonathan,
I was wondering (I don't have anything to do with the Velocity project,
I receive this list because I am writing a tool that will allow one my
OS projects to be used within Velocity), why not use your energies to
lobby Apache to take FreeMarker on-board? You have indicated that
FreeMarker is more advanced and mature than Velocity (and from the
limited reading I have done it appears that way) but your efforts on the
list seem like wasted effort to me. From what I've read the meat of
your argument is that you are unhappy that Velocity is considered the
de-facto template engine to use because it has the Apache badge and that
Joe User doesn't realize that there are better alternatives, if this is
the case then an obvious remedy would be to get the FreeMarker project
the Apache badge .
Just a thought.

Well Jonathan gives me another good reason to use velocity
How is that a reason to use Velocity? I know you're trying to tell me
off (and suck up to the people you feel are the relevant authority
figures) but it's unsettling that there isn't even the slightest
attempt at logical (or pseudological) discourse.
Summary: A dipshit writes a response to my private message in public
and I tell him off and another self-righteous ass says I should be
banned for telling him off.
And that's a "good reason" for you to use Velocity.
I mean, there's no logical connection anywhere. It's like:
"The socialists were just reelected in Spain."
"That's a good reason to use Velocity."
"Damn right."
Why don't you just say "Yer mommy wears army boots!" or something. At
least it's something of an insult (at the primary school level anyway...)
Or really, try to make some technical argument in defense of how great
Velocity supposedly is, we could talk about that...
Thanks Jonathan!!
You're welcome, I guess.... <shrug>
Oh, here are a couple more good reasons for people to use Velocity.
The price of crude oil is at a record high. Pamela Anderson still has
big tits.
