I'll just keep this short and simple. Longer stories can be found in my blog. See the links below.
I started working on a new form API because I hate the way the current API works sometimes and there are a lot of others who feel similarly. Key features so far:
- OOP
- More flexible validation
- No more hook_forms()
- No more base form bullshit
Biggest roadblock: elements are now classes. How do we make extending those as flexible and as clean as possible?
