[Springframework-developer] re: Keep Spring Focused

[Larry M. <Lar...@pl...>]

I tend to agree with Bradon on this. Look at the success of OS tools
like linux, eclipse, and netbeans - the reason these are so powerful and
widely used is not because the include everything, but because they CAN.

When you get a linux distro, it comes with the ability to easily include
any of several flavors of logging or cron, not just vixie-cron and
metalog (unlike it's leading non-OS counterpart which comes as a 3000
pound gorilla).

Why? Because the people developing and distributing linux understand
that both ease of use *and* weight are important to their user base.

I hope that the same can be said for the spring team.
