Yes, we consulted with the Drupal core team. And Yes, most of them were against the idea of Backdrop. The focus there is on changing things here and there to improve the developer experience. Mostly this is being done by adding more layers of abstraction to hide the scary and/or confusing stuff from the every-day lives of contrib developers. Though this approach has merit (who wants to worry about dependency injecting their own links?) I feel like it's a slippery slope. Another layer of abstraction can fix anything - except for too many layers of abstraction. There are some major philosophical differences between what the core team wants for Drupal, and what we feel is necessary for a successful CMS. Is learnability the priority, or is it an elegance in the architecture? For us, it's the former.
Formatting options
Basic
To post pieces of code, surround them with <code>...</code> tags. For PHP code, you can use <?php ... ?>, which will also color it based on syntax.
Web page addresses and email addresses turn into links automatically, unless the parent tag has the 'nolink' class.
Lines and paragraphs break automatically.
Allowed HTML tags: <a> <em> <strong> <blockquote> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <div> <p> <br> <pre> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <figure> <img> <figcaption> <hr>
