Interesting scoop from the other side—thanks Daniel! From the outside, there were some weird vibes coming out of EL back then – they’d taken a bit of an adversarial tone with the community, which had us wondering whether it was a good idea to have all our eggs in the EE basket. Then an EL designer publicly ranted about P&T, calling us a “direct competitor”, on the EE Podcast, when Craft was just a twinkle in our eye. Which ironically, was the exact moment we decided to really commit to building a CMS. Self-fulfilling rant I guess :) |

That podcast was either before my time or maybe just when I was starting, but yeah, that was definitely the mentality when I was there. There was also a bit of a siege mentality. My onboarding involved being instructed to join twitter, but warned that the community would be mean to me. Thing was, I found most of the criticism coming from the community to be warranted and valid and thought we should have been listening to it, instead of writing it off as a loud, mean, disgruntled, few.
Either way, you guys did a great job with Craft!
