He always thinks his methods are the best and loves when someone comes to meet him to help fix some code errors.

We are supposed to make products for the clients. Not speaking (talking) to the clients is so old-school!

In my opinion almost every team has his own black sheep! The thing is that it appears that this is a feature of the team itself. I just described my personal observations!

If you are able to combine a minimal set of FW, libraries and helpers for the project, it’s OK. But if you include some library or even framework, instead of writing some 5-10 lines of code, then you’re an ass.
Good example of bad library is smarty. It has it’s own syntax, which you must learn and get used to, it has a lot of limitations, and it can be perfectly replaced with some 10-15 lines of PHP. It also is rarely supported by IDEs or editors.
Anyway, this question always depends on situation and project needs. You just can’t say “This guy sucks ’cause he hates my favorite template engine”, if he has reasons to hate it.

This is a passive-aggressive personal attack on one of your coworkers. I suggest you try talking to him instead of taking your personal feud to the web.
