| Thanks for letting us know some of the backstory there. It may be just me, but reading your comment makes me more worried about lack of focus there than less... It just seems very frenetic. I've been developing on Titanium for several months now (as a paid subscriber) and more and more the decisions and priorities of the company really puzzle me. It seems like Appcelerator mostly ignores a shaky foundation while excitedly piling more 'features' on top of it and using tons of duct tape to try and keep it from collapsing before the money runs out. The most compelling evidence for this is the pull requests being ignored for long periods of time. How can we be excited about a platform that is so slow to even accept help from the open source community to improve it? Meanwhile, I frequently get calls from Appcelerator trying to get me to buy in-person training and even a new 'certification' program. Really?! That's where your putting your resources rather than the actual platform supporting your 'platform'? I really really want to like Titanium and be a fan, but right now it seems like asking me to please be a Microsoft fan. At this point I'd probably recommend MS over Ti. That's not a compliment :( Please please please focus on your core experience. Ignoring it will drastically damage your reputation among hackers (as you can already see happening) - and hackers are the ones who decide which platforms to use (and which to abandon). I would gladly pay several times more than I am now for an 'A' quality platform. Money is not an issue for many of us developers, but quality will be the deal killer here. I've many times wished that I could even pay a bounty to fix certain platform bugs. Please please focus on your core. Sincerely, Someone who'd really really like to be a fan |
