Agreed. But anyone who seriously uses it knows it's strengths
and weaknesses. The portability being the #1 thing for most people I
would think. I think the hype is good in the sense that it becomes
a self proclaimed industry standard. Because there's been many other
companies who have tried to do this kind of thing, but just didn't have
that world wide backing to push it mainstream. Too much of a pain having
to support stuff where there is a good chance the other people won't have
it.
In my case the project I'm on, the goal is to deliver
"quick and dirty" solutions. May not be the fastest, or technically
challenging, but it works.
