Nobody has to pay for using Ext Core, so the only valid reason for not choosing it is a dislike for its syntax, internal workings or any other technical reason.
- halo 18y agoIt's the same reason people are suspicious when Microsoft associates itself with open-source software. Past actions make people suspicious as to whether they can rely on them for support in the future, especially when it comes to something like frameworks where large code-bases rely on its continued existence and the vendor not pulling the plug, and kill any ill-will in the community. Once bitten, twice shy.
