[TYPO3-dev] Better use pibase while everyone use extbase?

[Philipp Wrann]

Extbase and Doctrine? Did i miss something?

IMHO there are 2 kind of coders, those who hack and those who develop.
And those who hack will allways find reasons that back their way of doing.

When using extbase like its meant to be, so use the Validation API, use the annotations property (lazy, cascade remove) and make use of viewhelpers. Additionally write intelligent code, put functionallity to singleton services and avoid doing the same thing twice extbase is just fun to use and its not that slow anymore.

In that one point i agree - extbase still needs to get faster but i see improvements happening.

If Performance is of that big matter and you have only custom contents and uncached things maybe TYPO3 in general is the wrong tool. But dont blame it on extbase. Set up your application with a more pure framework like Flow, Cake, Symfony or even Rails.
