@Trustmaster:
Rebuilding or integrating a lot off stuff on an other base is madness (time wise)
You will be always far behind off the competition... (if you see it like that)
I think Cotonti should keep following its own path... BUT we do need more sexy stuff in the UI.

I have been programming a LOT of years now and found that OO is NOT the holy grail.
(Have done it in some languages like C++).
That doesn't mean we should not use it. In fact for some parts it will be nice if its there.
I have always found that clear/clean structure and good code libraries are effective enough and in the end more flexible/adjustable. (A fact is that newbies think it is less sexy)

My thoughts:
So maybe all these "new" techniques and stuff is not always "The HOLY Grail".
Only one thing is HOLY and that is a clear and easy to use userinterface.

Maybe it is better to concentrate on the stuff that people really want.
(We should make a priority list off that !!!)
In Cotonti I found that a lot off stuff is happening but not always in the visible areas...
For end users (not programmers) this is what matters the most.

e.g.
nicer looking PFS, Draft versions off articles, sexy galleries and image stuff.
Some nice looking templates for businesses, blogs
==- I say: Keep it EZ -==
