Left a comment there, might as well leave it here too.

An interesting debate (minus the personal attack stuff). But I think the problem is that both sides are trying to warp and narrow the playing field to suit themselves. The truth is there are plenty of projects that will never need all the machinery of SproutCore. And there are plenty of projects that start out too small and then struggle to grow more complex. Choosing your tools is hard. It should be hard and it should be taken seriously. Neither side should be trying to convince people that it’s an easy decision.

- "This is why you should always just start with SproutCore". - "This is why you should just start small and integrate micro-frameworks as needed".

Both bogus arguments really.

I’m also quite sure that neither side really wants to disparage the other side. They just want to make sure their own side isn’t being disparaged or misrepresented. This is what most internet arguments are made of unfortunately :)

What would be more awesome IMO is if we started talking about when it’s a good idea to take either approach. Let’s hear some use cases. And let’s stop using Twitter as an example. There is only 1 Twitter and their requirements are not going to be representative of the web dev community at large.
