Howard Lewis Ship kept changing the paradigm for Tapestry every major release or two. He could have had something to take the spot that Spring eventually filled, but these big gear shifts I think left people with a lot of rework and at some point it seems like porting your code to something more architecturally stable is a better bet.
It’s challenging though to keep supporting an API contract that you don’t believe in anymore. Or especially that you are causing you and others pain. I think sometimes maybe the thing to do is pass the baton and work on something else, but we also punish people for abandoning things. Like the author of Groovy, who hopped around from project to project and lost people.
