And you can't simply throw the Twig classes in app/classes why? Oh ya...no reason. Why should we lock people into a specific templating system? We are working on something for v1.1, but it will still not be core...it will be a package.

You could add Twig into Fuel in the time it took you to write that comment.

Preface: I am the Founder and Lead Developer for Fuel

A lot of people are complaining, and saying things like we don't use namespaces properly. My response: Then don't use the framework. I started the framework because no current framework met my needs. Here are some of the reasons I did not simply use an existing framework:

CodeIgniter - Slow to evolve, requires a lot of code for simple things, nothing autoloaded (don't even try to mention the autoload config file.

Symfony2 - Over-complication of menial tasks, kind of slow.

CakePHP - Slowest (php) framework known too man, bloated, need I say more?

Zend - Slow, bloated.

Yii - Just don't generally like the syntax.

Kohana - There isn't much I don't like about Kohana actually...other than its not PHP 5.3 yet (not going into specifics on why this is bad).

DooPHP - Not full-featured-enough.

I also wanted things like HMVC (i know some of the above support it), Modular Routing and a few other things.

To the guy that said he was turned off by the Html class: if you don't want it, don't use it, stop whining.
