Marketing is a topic lost on a lot of developers and entrepreneurs and it’s refreshing to see someone call people out for their oversights w/ regard to advertising of their bits.

I haven’t heard of Argotic or Quartz.NET, both of which will be useful for an upcoming project. (Not to mention Siesta and Ninject)

I agree with your points around promotion and competition… I look forward to seeing more code soon

I think much the same as you. On a different note, I’m intereseted in your use of Spark. I have a personal project that I was considering using either Spark or NHaml for. Any thing worth noting?

I would certainly enjoy reading about that instead of bickering over OSS.

It’s your fault.” There are sooo many good reasons to write your own code especially if it is both foundational to your project and trivial to implement. Most frameworks grow to into gargantuan beasts full of stuff you just don’t need. Then you have to depend on some third party developer doing it right and maintaining support. I love your stuff, love Ninject, keep it coming. It’s hard when you get ruffled to keep up the fight but it will blow over since _you_ write great code.
