Every single project I work on I use views. I never have problems with it. Every time I need to make it do something unconventional, theres bazillions of hooks, preprocess functions, template files, and ways to extend it if need be.

If the whole world understood drupal, Views would immediately be championed as an epic work of art.

Thanks for creating/helping to maintain something positively awesome.

ABSOLUTELY TRUE! What a great thing. Solves so many problems. Spot on every time. Rids the world of crap one-off code. Solves significant problems with tiny effort. YAY!

Chiming in, I'd like to echo a tweet I saw the other day: "You know, everyone gives Views a bad rap on documentation but have you ever actually read this code? #doxygen #win"

Always amazing!

+1 on the general versatility of Views, the Swiss Army Knife of Drupal.

We need more people to get involved, help Views! (by writing tests, contributing to discussions, writing patches, documenting, etc.).

+1!

Even after working with it for years I still find new things to do with it on weekly basis.

Views makes life more awesome. Huzzah!

+1 for Views and another +1 for the Views 3.x UI redesign. My understanding of Views has been exponential since that occurred.

Somehow before the redesign, I did not know what the override button was for! Used to build a lot of one page views! I guess you can overlook the simple things sometimes.

Thanks for all your hard work.

+1. The ease of use, whilst still retaining the utmost in functionality of Views has always astounded me.

An absolute "hat off" effort to you guys :) I look forward to the day when I can make a contribution to Drupal, like you guys have :)

Views provides exactly what a content management system needs, power and flexibility. The functionality you have developed with views is second to none.

Many Thanks

"Views rocks" <- the most truthful truth.
Thank you.

Like #1, I too find I've used Views on every single project. Now I found this post via Mr. Falk's posts and I got to the end of it and I find myself asking just why Views is so great.

I use it because it's a visual query builder, yes. But it just rocks" because it's essentially an API which means it 'works well with others'. It's real power isn't in it's own feature set but in what you can do with it between a small handful of other modules that also just rock. Those too, are API modules like CTools, Rules, ... (while I'm sure there are other they slip my mind due, undoutedly, to some Jedi mind-trick).

With just three (contributed) modules, one can do what in the past took countless one-off modules, and do so in a consistent way. Rules fire views or views fire rules. CTools fires rules and rules fire variants. It makes the obsessive-recursive in me feel like Genie.

To completely cloud my metaphors, Views itself is like a lightsaber - very cool ("fan-freakin-tastic" in fact) - and who wouldn't want one? But in combination with other API modules it is the Force.

May the Force be with you.

Views is amazing!!!

Thanks to everyone who contributes to this project, I think it would be cool to see some of you math majors do some estimations on how many human hours have gone into making Views alone (not to mention Drupal Core). Like a million, 10 million or more?!

Big kudos to you Earl Miles and of course countess others!

Sincerely,

Elijah Lynn
