Which protocol is the best at the moment?
That depends on who you ask. I like HTTP very much, but there are probably still some GOPHER fans out there.

I know, but the speed they develop is below everything i've seen before
Then you ain't seen nothin' yet. Proposals are created more quickly then most clients can implement them.

>A certain disharmony will increase the speed of development.

Maybe, IMHO, disharmony results in endless discussions and, in this case, will cause different protocol variants, for example.
If somebody wants to create his own protocol, he has every right to do so.

>Too much of it will result in flame wars but even those can help the cause at times.

I've never seen a flame war which helped to solve a development problem without dividing good people into small groups
Then you are not reading the_gdf.

I've not seen G2 working, if it's better, and i mean better than the ed2k/emule network, i'll do everything for it, otherwise, the old Gnutella1 is ready for the recycle bin.
I've not even seen the G2 specs. - The old Gnutella is better than ever.
