I fucking hate composer...

Bite me.

Why? Asking out of curiosity

Speaking in general here:

Theoretically having one single command to do everything magically for you sounds nice.

The problem is I can't help but feel like i'm not the one in control, because of all those dependencies, install this, install that and suddenly you're stuck with 6MB of random code I have no clue about what does.

Not to mention the documentation is often confusing or contradicting...

Fear not, you are not alone with composer hate.

I hate it from whole my heart. It's... meh..

just forget it.

"Its simple to use" they say
"It just works" they say
"It solves your dependancy problems" they say

well, technically they are correct.
It is simple to use, once you manage to make it work.
It just works if you manage it to stop not working as you want, or more precisely, yeah, it just works, but that does not mean it does what I want.
It solves your dependancy problems, of course it does, only if it fucking for once worked....

And thats one minor detail that it refuses to work for me. I just dont give a shit. On other PC it works and still it managed to create pure crystal clear form of hate in me.

Oh, and if it doesnt work for you, check out this website - https://php-download.com and thank me later.

@theMaintainer as you damn well should.

Composer is awful. Really awful. You should learn a new language and never use it again

@bashleigh

I could learn new language but Im stickin' with PHP

Just skipping all the composer headache. if I REALLY REALLY need some fking library that is supported only for composer, I use that site I mentioned 2 posts above

@Commodore Talking in general, or hating on composer ? 🤔

I thought I was all alone in this... I feel better now
PS: I also fucking hate npm, and all the fucking pre-processors (who the fuck was the genius who came up with that idea)... and don't even get me started with the "async nature" of FUCKING JAVASCRIPT

Dude! I just signed up to this site JUST TO SAY IT! WE ARE NOT ALONE! Composer SUX BIG TIME!
No one knows how to code anymore... They just sticks to a lot of libraries they don't have a clue how them work and just do a lot of copy and pastes.
Composer uses a LOT of memory, is slow, bloated and tottaly unecessary. It only fuckup everything with that autoload stuff.

Why do I need something like that just to download the lib for me???

Thank you @DubbaThony. I got here searching for a way to get rid of that and found more people who hate composer and a way to actually get rid of it.
