I read your article. You're someone I'd love to work for. Goodness, why can't I find employers like yourself to work for. I've been a developer for a number of years, and JS has been something that I worked with when it appeared as a language for us to use back in the days of NetScape Navigator (pre-Mozilla). Anyway, I absolutely loved your article, found it insightful, and found myself agreeing with every point you made in it. I, too, have found the factory approach to be a much more elegant solution to component instantiation, by the way! Bravo!
