"works just fine" - obviously never watched xdebug shart the bed while composer tries to version match phpunit.

A module system and less reliance on PSR the better. Why exactly does PSR still exist?



PSR is intended for framework authors, and I strongly think it was one of the best things that happened to the php ecosystem. The PSR-7 http messages alone have made SO MANY things compatible at once, it’s incredible. And it works so well that most php developers aren’t ever aware that PSR underpinnings power most dependencies they use!

That's my problem with it. It should be focused on what's good for developers. Not what makes it easier to overengineer the next flavour of the month.


Genuine question, why are you version matching PHPUnit? It's arguably one of the most backwards compatible software packages still being actively developed. I have multiple projects using phpunit version (*) with no issues.

I will readily admit that 99% of my assertions are some variation of `$this->assertEquals()`
