Currently you do not get you first paragraph with your second paragraph. This is worrying given how much effort was spent. Hopefully it will change before the release.

It always depends on the person. In software development only constant learning helps. Stopping learning for half a year makes a man obsolete forever (unless he spend 20h/day for the next year to regain knowledge). Very few people are willing to learn constantly and very few companies are willing to let employees learn instead of doing 100% coding.

I am more excited that we finally won ExtJS inclusion to the core. It opens so much possibilities for better UI (=more pleased customers). I am not excited about FLUID&Extbase because I never saw how they compare to pibase in terms of performance. When I see the results, I may become excited (or disappointed) ;)
