And not responding to disparaging comments helps your project? I think he makes a pretty strong case in this article. It's a bit passive aggressive though, I.e. "hey I don't have any sore feelings about it, but they went about it like real jerks". Just come out and say they were real jerks without the "I don't have sore feelings" crap. We can tell you didn't like it, and I'm completely OK with that. I think the mindset that created Tornado is one that a lot of us share as coders. If there's an existing framework to do something but it's messy in your opinion, and the job you need to do is simple enough and not covered very well by that existing framework, well then often it costs a lot less in terms of investment to build it yourself. Then you get exactly what you need too, and nothing more (which increases complexity). It worked out for them too! I also think twisted could market itself better, but that takes effort that could be spent elsewhere, and I doubt they're all that interested. We'll see.
