Well, this sounds like a good opportunity for me to mention an alternative deployment tool with a cooler name : Vlad the Deployer. http://rubyhitsquad.com/Vlad

Yeah, I second this. It's really useful and easy to use.

I would have had a lot more respect for Vlad if the developers hadn't acted like complete jerks about it: http://rubyhitsquad.com/Ruby_Hit_Squad.html http://rubyhitsquad.com/Ruby_Hit_Squad.html Building a competing tool because you think you can do it better is fine. Building a competing tool because you want to take a different approach is also fine. Being rude isn't fine, and shouldn't be tolerated in any community.

    That's nice, but I don't think it makes up for how they attacked it. PJ Hyett (of GitHub fame) even commented on it at the time: http://www.pjhyett.com/posts/224-how-not-to-open-source http://www.pjhyett.com/posts/224-how-not-to-open-source

  If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Really that page is a joke and isn't very rude. It's friendly competition and clearly states why they're competing: needless complexity in the existing tool. >Being rude isn't fine, and shouldn't be tolerated in any community. That page isn't rude and the community will tolerate being rude if the code is any good. Look at Linus Torvalds', Theo de Raadt's, and other awesome coders' comments! They're still appreciated by the community for their code and if rudeness weren't tolerated, they'd be kicked out quick quick.
