it's funny to see the same defense over and over. no one said any other framework is perfect, but JEE is design-by-committee crap mainly designed to sell consulting hours. that lack of external perfection does not make JEE usable or worthwhile.

To whom does Geronimo sell consulting hours?

The design-by-committee hasn't been the case for at least 10 years. J2EE 1.4 was the last version largely developed that way. The last released version (EE 7) and the current one (EE 8) sees a lot of community contributions.

People from the community create JIRA issues, send contributions, even implement entire features (see the work for JSF 2.3 and MVC 1.0).

If that's design-by-committee then everything is design-by-committee.

So tell me, which framework does not lack of external perfection and make it usable or worthwhile.
