Hi all,
I sometimes feel there is unfortunately no constructive debate about
this topic (2.1 vs 2.2). And as you say, Bart, blaming people who remain
unsatisfied with 2.2 seems to be the answer though it's a bit easy.
For example, I have a lot of Cocoon apps with many XSP and Cocoon 2.2
does not support XSP. I don't know what to do with this apps in the
future when 2.1 is no longer supported.
Here
(http://www.nabble.com/How-can-i-activate-XSP-in-cocoon-2.2---to19452293.html#a19457928)
was an answer : "Yes... XSP is evil" and "Yes, flowscript + template
block". Constructive debate. What about performance (javascript
interpreter written in java vs XSP compilation) ?
If I have to work with a new environment for what reasons would I choose
Cocoon 2.2 as there are now many developping frameworks when I no longer
find in Cocoon the reasons that made me work with it ?
Regards,
André

It's not only about taking the road less traveled ... certainly not if
you get the impression that it seems to be going the wrong way.
I am convinced that a lot of cocoon users were convinced that cocoon was
powerful & useful ... until 2.2
We all know Cocoon has a rather steep learning curve, but the move to
2.2 just made it even more difficult.
Maybe acceptance is not an issue, but when cocoon loses it user base,
cocoon also loses the rich potential of talented developers to improve it.
Just to get things clear (and to find out if I should stick with
cocoon): who / what is cocoon made for (basically, who is the client) &
what is this "client" expecting / hoping for ?
What I've seen in the recent past is that this discussion comes up every
now and then, meaning that users remain unsatisfied. I feel that it
would be to easy to blame them (although this is convenient, since you'd
never have to question anything).
All I can hope is to get some constructive debate out of this.
What I expect as a cocoon user when new releases occur:
new features, easier to use, better documentation ( and examples),
stronger foundations, ...
I can accept that it takes some effort, extra learning and code
conversion ... (but I hope to get some of the above in return)
I would like to invite other users to express what they expect from new
versions, unless the end users are not the target audience for cocoon,
and in this case ... should all move to mainstream php/ruby ?

You may be correct; but I have never felt that Cocoon was
"striving" for acceptance. It simply is what it is; and you either
find it incredibly powerful and useful ... or become a mainstream
php/ruby developer. If you are here, its because you have taken
the road (development route?!) less traveled!

Yes, you're right ... too harsh.
I'm really just a newbie, but speaking as one, I think that 2.1 was
a much
nicer experience out of the gate, which is pretty damn important for an
application to gain wider acceptance.
