I beg to disagree that Recoil is "as simple", but simplicity wasn't the main objective of Recoil in the first place. Having said that, Recoil is excellent at its intended applications. I wouldn't go around telling everyone to use Recoil for everything, though.

But I'd like to reiterate, in case someone did not care to read the article... this is NOT about being the "best" library. Open source is NOT a popularity contest—it's about offering something that might be useful to somebody out there, for their specific needs.

And a wise man told me that a smart developer does not rely solely on one philosophy/pattern/library, but knows which one to use depending on the task at hand.
