Do we need Phoenix at all?

My point is there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. Rolling your own “proprietary” web framework when phoenix (and other options ie Raxx) are available is not a smart business decision. No one wants to come in and work on a project that someone built because they thought they knew more than a collective group of smart developers in their respective communities. Seriously questioning a decision to not use a mature established framework for web projects does not mean not using it is the wrong decision. Of course there are edge cases. But the jump from “simple project” to a web project that needs templating, API, DB is a very short one. I talk myself out of phoenix, it sounds like you talk yourself into it. To each his own.
