1. lack of tabs, "one true brace", etc. - coding according to PEAR style would decrease my productivity. 2. PEAR *isn't* trying to be CPAN, illustrated wonderfully by the template API debate (which also illustrated that PEAR is different things to different people). After listening to the template debate, I'm favoring choice over unified API; can't find enough reasons to *not* have several PEAR template engines: different strokes fo different folks.
