Well, I did refrain from signing the CLA because of the situation that it can bring, that eventually Discourse could end up in the wrong camp. But my love for Discourse, along with such positions as @eviltrout’s (from his blog)…:
Yehuda Katz has done amazing work on Rails 3 and Bundler. When he tells me that he’s not going to abandon Ember.JS, I believe him, because he has a track record proving so. Angular, for example, is sponsored by Google, and while I think the project would continue even if they abandoned it, it is important to me that the Ember community didn’t spring out of a corporate sponsorship.
… eventually convinced me to sign it even with my expressed reserves. So that must make your argument obsolete.
