No, Sproutcore was being discussed.

I can't believe I wrote that. And posted it.

The entire thread has been about the subject "SproutCore--over 20000
lines of new code!" and the code samples taken from Sproutcore.

Sorry for the mixup.

That's because you don't think before you talk.

Lets see. Mr Smith had an error he made pointed out to him and he
acknowledged it. There have been numerous errors and shortcomings in
SproutCore pointed out, but for you the "bad" is still Mr Smith?

I'm glad to see that finally, you're beginning to "get it" -albeit
superficially-, "it" being what the library you're criticizing is
about. Because ISTM that a basic -at the very least- understanding of
whatever you're talking about is always a good thing to have before
criticizing. For example, had you known beforehand that sproutcore was
about emulating OSX's Cocoa MVC model and basic framework's
functionality (and no, nothing to do with .NET), you might have
guessed better -given the caliber of the project- that to achieve that
it takes -necessarily- more than a few of lines of JS. Then maybe, as
a second thought, you could have said e.g. that -in your opinion- the
web is not ready for such things yet (I would not agree), instead of
blindly ditching something that you don't even know what is. IOW, you
and the Smith ought to think before you talk.

Mr. Smith does much more than "an error".
