From Dries:

"In the end, I fundamentally believe that all people are created equally. This belief has shaped the values that the Drupal project has held since it's early days. I cannot in good faith support someone who actively promotes a philosophy that is contrary to this. The Gorean philosophy promoted by Larry is based on the principle that women are evolutionarily predisposed to serve men and that the natural order is for men to dominate and lead."

Great blog post. Thanks!

Our company has developed it's own internal framework. I wouldn't want a new hire trashing it and wasting time and money doing what has been done. A framework is a tool in your toolbox, and I've learned some cool stuff from some. Another argument against is it creates a higher profile target for vulnerabilities and patching and upgrades must be managed.
