Believe me, someone has asked this question before. All this energy,
that should have been used to produce good code, documentation and
positive vibes in the community, spent on petty internal fights. I have
not seen any indications that give me hope of the situation ever
improving, in fact it got a lot worse from the second Zend's license was
announced (in the core group). I find it uninspiring to say the least.
If you get some distance from PHP, it suddenly becomes ridiculous.

To whoever feels like responding: I'm not pointing any fingers here, I'm
merely saying how I feel. It has come to the point where the way one
feels can only be changed by proof of the opposite, further discussion
(argument) merely emphasises the problem.
