1 or 2 for me. We are using lib/div in a few projects and I think it
makes extension development a lot easier and maintainable. I also like
that it is a very small extension, which I can easily fix and extend
myself.

I am pretty happy with the features it has at the moment, it just
needs a bit more love to reach a 1.0 version. I would like better
support for back end modules and more support for testing. And maybe
ORM support for the models (though I probably can get that to work now
already). The main problem is the missing documentation, examples,
lack of kickstarter support and small community.

Regarding 4+5: I have projects which use lib/div, so I don't really
have the choice of switching. I also wonder why this should be better
then lib/div or faster reaching a stable version. You would also have
the same problems as lib/div which I mentioned above.

Just my 2c
