Nope, we aren't - and won't be. Friends don't use ad hominem attacks on friends.

  Bummer. Well, I guess all I can say it's nothing personal. I thought I was arguing against Thomas's opinion (which I disagree with), and his constant attacks against any JS framework over 2K in size. Best of luck with your ventures.

    In case anyone reading this exchange isn't privy to the facts of the matter: Thomas doesn't "constantly" "attack" libraries "over 2k in size." He's a core team member of Prototype, wrote/"founded" Scriptaculous, scripty2, and Zepto. All significantly larger than 2k. All different types of frameworks, libraries. All of which we use. What Thomas does is promote smaller, more modular libraries -- based on experience. He promotes them because large libraries dominated the market utterly, and monocultures are not productive for hackers. So he started http://microjs.com http://microjs.com. Some people like to characterize him as a zealot for promoting an alternative and talking about why huge frameworks/libraries often have more tradeoffs than benefits.

      I guess after writing Prototype with it's 2GB source it's understandable that one would become a promoter of smaller, modular libraries ;) I'm myself a supporter of small libs, actually wrote a zepto "competitor" to be compatible with IE9 [1], but get the impression everyone is being a little too defensive (offensive?) on the matter.
