Do you really think the designers of other web frameworks do not understand how web2py works? They definitely understand, and they probably understand better than you or I. The problem is that web2py design is different from their own design. Because we operate in the same space, they try to show why their decisions are better. To be fair, Massimo has been doing exactly the same thing by comparing w2py versus the others for years. Quid pro quo. If we get to say why ours is better, then they get to do likewise. However, these subjective discussions simply don't matter. The things that they complain about are *fundamental* to how web2py works, and that is why these topics are selected for ridicule. It is fundamental to w2py that controllers are executed by the framework (and IMO its best feature, and why I chose it over Django). Whether this approach is better or worse than any other framework cannot be determined theoretically, it has be be shown in practice, and we just haven't been seeing the kind of problems that detractors have been suggesting. And really, it's been getting ridiculous. Jacob KM suggesting we're "not a python framework" and inviting us to "join the party". Such incredible arrogance. web2py doesn't have to win reddit arguments. All web2py has to do is support the creation of many awesome websites. We only need to maintain focus on the core design criteria that have already been in place since the start. We do not need to have a huge community. We do not need to be the next big thing. We do not have to slice toast and make coffee or rear ponies. Just be the best at making web app creation fast, easy and secure.
