Actually, there are exactly two items in your source: "- It is too hard to download and use just one Boost library; the libraries seem overly coupled making it hard to pick and choose. - Some of the libraries are too clever for my taste. Sometimes, generality and simplicity coincide; in Boost, the balance is IMO too often so far towards generality that novices and average users are lost." - Bjarne Stroustrup
So much for that, if you cite someone, you should at least do it properly.
It wasn't a cited source, it was a link to more detail. I was citing Bjarne's public comments on Boost in interviews, in his conference talks as well as his website. His opinion regarding Boost is very well known. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
