Hi guys, Is it me, or you too have noticed an active participation of Howard in the answering of questions here on the list in recent times? In the past when Tapestry was popular his ego and pompous attitude made him feel too high to even bother to read people's request for help.
But now with the rising of excellent frameworks like GWT and Wicket all offering an excellent alternative to Tapestry his ego has dropped massively and he has resorted back to basics. He started like this anyway and I'm personally glad he's going back to his roots. He deserved to be praised for turning back to the humble Howard I knew when Tapestry started in the beginning. It's rather unfortunate that competetion had to awaken him. This is a real example of the popular saying that goes "Competition is a good thing", though. Having said that, I must also mention that this might be too late to save Tapestry. Looking at the traffic the past times here on the list, one can see there is a serious reduction in the use of Tapestry. And that bothers me. I persnally think Tapestry had dipped into a deep coma. And from what I know many that fall in coma ultimately come out dead. Though I'm still hoping for the best for Tapestry. I have a huge codebase written in Tapestry. I don't want to go the route like theserverside.com went by ditching Tapestry and starting all over again.
