The cartoon rodent should go. A few weeks back I was working on convincing a client to give Ember a try. One of them was browsing various Ember sites while we were talking, came across Tomster, and suggested that the framework was created by some guy living in his parents’ basement. The discussion went down from there.
I’m chipping in, though this thread is getting a bit old, because I’d like to make a practical suggestion: Make Tomster an easter egg of some kind. Or, encourage others to include Tomster as an easter egg in their own code if it makes sense. That way those of you who love Tomster can keep him, and the rest of us can forget all about him. (And keep him hidden from pointy-haired bosses.)
