From Joel Spolsky:
As usual, the idealists are 100% right in principle and, as usual, the pragmatists are right in practice.
I wouldn't say 100%... :) but it's an interesting article, especially in light of some of the discussion about the Module::Install deprecations.
Interesting how?

That kind of depends whether you consider me an idealist or a pragmatist.
My principle? Design idealistically, implement pragmatically
:)
idealism and pragmatism

Ideally, we expect idealists and pragmatists to agree. But in practice, we find they don't.
Theory and practice. In theory, they are the same thing. In practice, they are not. --Jan LA van de Snepscheut
We all agree on the necessity of compromise. We just can't agree on when it's necessary to compromise. -Larry Wall
