There is a web interface which I use EXCLUSIVELY to maintain the contents of my PEAR library. Any proposed replacement which does not have a web interface I'm afraid is totally unacceptable. Command line interfaces went out of fashion when the Windows OS was first released, and anyone who still insists on using one has not joined the rest of the world in the 21st century." you inject your subjective opinion/anecdotal evidence as an objective fact and trying to kill the discussion instead of contributing to it. as you mentioned there is a pear package which provides a web interface for managing pear packages, but that isn't part of the pear core and hence not bundled by the php project atm, so I don't think that it is a valid argument for requiring to bundle a gui interface for composer. if people need a web interface there will be a web interface (maybe there is one already: https://github.com/composer-ui/composer-ui ) which they can install via composer. "Just because SOME people still like using a command line interface does not mean that they can force everyone else to use it. If any piece of 21st century does not come with a web/GUI interface it just shows that the author is still living in the past and is incapable of serving the needs of today's users." first you are arguing in bad faith (eg. that anybody/everybody here is trying to sabotage those who would prefer a gui over a command line), then you start namecalling those who would prefer command line over gui (which is btw. plain wrong in the age of configuration management and immutable deployment where being able to have automated and reproducible deployments is a key) "Typical. You create a useful tool, get your users hooked, then walk away and leave them dangling." bad faith and passive aggressive comment. "Perhaps users could be prevented from making such basic mistakes if they had a 21st century web interface instead of the archaic command line." I've replied to this already, but yet another passive aggressive remark which adds little to nothing to the discussion. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu
