Well Rob, that is your personal opinion.
I personally have no problems building applications which require high
reliability on tapestry. It is a very nice framework to build
applications on.
Whether the "beta" or "release" status are important is mostly a
political discussion (some companies only allow officially released
versions to be used), and partly an indication of interface stability.
Whenever you build an application, based on whatever libraries or
frameworks, it is up to you to build the confidence required to trust
your application's functioning. This is typically done with unit and
integration test. It is however a big bonus if the libraries and
frameworks in use have their own testing in place. This is very much the
case for tapestry. There is a lot of stuff out there which has no or
very limited test infrastructure in place and is still considered
"release quality".

Guys, stop the exagerations. Gmail, one of the best Internet application
ever written still has a beta status. Unlike Tapestry, Gmail has had the
beta status for years and would therefore trust it more than Tapestry which
I personally won't do anything serious with it beyond a little bit more
advanced Hello world application.

The fact that you're using T5 in the real world at this beta stage is very
good news for the upcoming release IMO, even if it delays the RC a bit. (not
too much though I hope ;-)

We're still not making a big deal; the transition from alpha to beta
affects us more than the rest of the world. I think we'll probably
start seeing a new branch for 5.0 work and a switch-over of trunk to
5.1 pretty soon.
In the meantime, I'm using 5.0.12 for a client project and finding a
fair amount of rough edges and minor bugs. I'd just as soon take care
of those in parallel with the client project since the end result is a
far more useable and finished 5.0 final.
