irule editor - linux

Hoolio,

 

 

Thank you for your response and sorry to dwell on this a bit more but I do feel strongly enough to advocate the need. In the end I hope it helps F5 to continue to lock in it's market dominance.

 

 

In my humble opinion "iRule Editor" definitely classifies as an F5 product. According to "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_%28business%29" a product is a "thing produced by labor or effort" and as far as I can tell the iRule Editor was produced by F5 staff probably at least partially while they were in the office. So from my view point it is an F5 product and therefore should be managed by the F5 product team. Joe Pruitt and Matt Cauthorn has helped the product mgmt team a lot by determining a large portion of a feature set and at this point is how can you appeal to a broader audience (Mac and Linux users).

 

 

My apologies to Joe Pruitt and Matt Cauthorn if I have insulted them. That is not my intent at all. I am sure they have put a lot of work into the product and should be recruited to lead the team to build a great tool we can all enjoy and feel we can't live without. I am sure people like them is why F5 is doing so well. They saw the need and tried to fill it. The community that is here begging for a better tool only enforces that there is in deed a need.
