If anyone remembers, this is similar to the “Turbo Gears” vs “Django” of Python world. Turbo Gears allowed me to choose the best of each component - but pretty soon one ends up having to upgrade or migrate to the new-best-sub-component on a weeekly/monthly basis. django helped avoided a lot of headache by defaulting a decent, but not necessarily the best tool, and sort of “won” in the end.
For some reason, we continue to replay this fight in each and every language and environment.
