How about a webinar, or a conference call?

I think written documentation is just fine.

Written documentation is fine, but a quick video would help. That's not unreasonable for something like this, you could have replied more nicely. Instead of like a terrorist.

You have been conditioned by far too much hype. You need to evaluate your software, not be sold on it.

You could also say "You need to evaluate your software, and be sold on it"

Or not.

I need a reason to evaluate your software. There are hundreds of frameworks. If I start evaluating every single one of them, I will spend the rest of my life doing just that.

Your job is to select the best tool for the task, not the best marketed tool.

Harden up and evaluate software correctly.

whoosh

Makes complete sense, now that you put it that way.

I didn't realize the whole thing was a joke.

Did you just try to pick on his name?

I didn't think he was. I think it was stylistic hyperbole; deliberate heavy-handed response, just I pulled out the "webinar" gun to label someone a "suit" :-)
