Hmm, the GSOC Application of Simpletest didnt make it through

But the PHP Project ofiicially supports the PHPUnit as part of its application.

I dio not like the way how php mixes its related open source projects.
Why do people who already have all support, written books, have spoken on all important conferences mixup things here? Is there any need for?

I dont think so: In the end it is bad for the whole php community and from my point of view a kind of a political move.

The PHP-test Information Minister Says: There is only one unittesting framework supporting testing in PHP:



Anyway, my will to participate on the php-test-sessions get lesser and lesser every day.

Started beating and ranting around on smarty. Since my comment on one of the blogs was deleted. I will rant here.

1. The discussion is really biased towards the non smarty opinion. I can only repeat myself stating that the php-jetset has decided another BAAAD thing to point out and spread FUD. They are just bringing arguments that everybody with a pee warm piece of brain just knows the pros and cons about.

2. More important smarty is well documented and a kind of standard, see the list of applications using smarty as templating. Its just a good product in terms of documentation and examples. Is that the same for the other templating languages that are present out there ? I don't remember seeing any other templating toolkit with that numerous examples.

3. If you dont like it, dont think you have the top-notch-opinion-overall.

I am very sorry to be this harsh, but the actual discussion lacks very basic things:
respect for the work on smarty, repect for the people putting effort in it, respect for a kind of standard.
