Each decision on whether to inherit or compose features will have to come down to performance testing to be able to measure the pros and cons of such decisions. We can sit here and pontificate on the ideal architecture until we are blue in the face but without performance tests to back it up then its just hot air. The answer will likely be both, with careful consideration as to how many new objects we introduce into such a huge component like UIComponent while continuing to increase the speed and not weight it down. > > Now, those Spark "things" are dependent on whom has the "teacher" and why > they did it like that.
