Here are my comments of my own article on their selection of quotes: Hmm, It seems that my article comes out a bit too harsh. I encourage you to read it, because I'm really not angry that Zend “jilted” me, I’m more worried what that means for Zend and hopeful that they change their ways. As for my harshness on Zend, I want to emphasize again, like I did in the article, that it is one of the few companies in the PHP world actually TRYING to sell to enterprises, which is a good thing. For instance, I think things like Zend Suite, Zend Certification, and Zend Con are good things, but the execution doesn’t make me feel that a whole lot of professionalism is behind them. For example, Compare the release of Zend Framework to the release of SDO for PHP or the i18n support IBM added to Dojo Toolkit. Ignore the merits, and just concentrate on the three things I mentioned that I feel are important for enterprise adoption: image, competence, safety. I hope that makes sense.
