Honestly, as a Laravel developer of many many years, and a Slim framework lover many years before that, and a member of PHP-FIG - I shouldn't agree with you.

However, in todays world where tokens and context are overtaking problem solving, this article rings true what a few of us are already thinking.

Not related to the article, but more the framework, going anti-composer is definitely something that is a no go. Unless you're replacing composer with a like for like alternative, dependency management is needed. It is one of the biggest single improvements to the PHP language. I'm not sure if you were about in the "before" composer times, but damn it was the wild west.

Overall, some pretty solid points for anyone getting into PHP/development. Well written, well thought out (even if I don't agree with every statement). Good job!

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the comment and good to hear someone that have the field experience. I know the situation regarding composer, and will look to implement optional support for composer to PointArt.
