Actually, it looks like CollabNet's SourceCast. Scarab looks like SourceCast
and Maven looks like Scarab. =)

It is more than that though...it is about long term code design and
maintainability. My pages are FULL of code...that is just evil. Even worse
is that there is no way around that unless I use a template system within
PHP! Yuck!
If I want to have a central repo of functions and classes to use, I have to
include the entire file just to get at one function (or embed each function
in a different file which sucks just as badly). Yuck!
If I want a database connection, I have to include a file to get it. Yuck.
Interestingly enough, I did write a quick little framework that works very
similar to Turbine and has the same concept of users/roles/permissions. =)

Which is when I originally started using it (pre 1.0 days). =)
