I got the impression that I would be very happy with the community and helping out. My time is better spent with WordPress, I believe, Habari has the right paradigm with coding practices and respect with potential developers, assholes, and I can suspect community members. Actually, the real reason I don't work on Habari is that I don't think I can offer anything at this moment. I could learn a lot, but right now I can actually do something in the WordPress community and until I can no longer achieve anything within WordPress I don't think I'll move to the Habari community.

It's interesting that you mention community, because that's one of the reasons I was so attracted to Habari; it has a great community. Jacob, thanks for your reply.

I'm betting that in the future, Habari will be much more popular and the reign of WordPress won't be as great. However, the faults of WordPress are being improved, so I might be wrong. It is generally the community, if the community decides that WordPress no longer suits their needs, they will find another one, whether S9Y or Habari or another blogging platform.

I'm not sure how many have found this, but it is lacking facts in a few points. One of the developers made a reply to this post and after talking to that person and finding out more, I'll have to say that I was wrong, on at least three points. Thanks for reminding me to update this! Can't do it today, but probably this week. it is better to not give any false representation of Habari or look like a fool. @Michael

Plugins can even use spl_autoload() to autoload their own class files. btw, I'm not sure that saying there are historical reasons why the files are there helps your case. They should be there for technical reasons. Personally, I find the Habari file structure much more obvious, but I've used Habari much more than I've used WordPress.

There is also a history with the files as to why they are still in the core.

A lot of those are old feed files and aren't even used anymore. Uh, WordPress has something like 15 random wp-*.php files in the root folder, which I would definitely categorize as disorganized.
