In his latest post, Bertrand Mansion offers a suggestion to developers out there - "Stop stealing, innovate".

Today I saw this proposal for the Zend Framework. I wouldn't be surprised if this proposal was accepted. Zend Framework seems to be unable to propose anything innovative to PHP developers. The examples provided on this page look like they are copy/pasted from code available in PEAR that already is 5 years old.

He also comments that he thinks a lot of the innovation issues that are evident in that porposal are mirrored in both PHP, the language, and Zend as a company.
