Ok, now I know you don't care about those issues. But I know these are issues many evaluating a framework would care to consider as part of their decision factors. I don't know what you are building with Tapestry and don't know for who. I can be 100% sure though it's not a serious stuff for a serious organisation. It's sad projects like Tapestry are killing the OS spirits. I know good engineers at serious organisations who are reduced to coding with stuffs like JSP/JSF because it's a standard. All due to the insecurities projects like Tapestry bring with it. There is a one man dictator out there who thinks things should be done a particular way because it's "fun" even if the price to pay is breaking backward compatibility. A hobbyist at home wouldn't care to re-write everything from scratch because it's fun to do. But big organisations that invest big bucks loose big bucks for doing that. Left me alone, Tapestry should be kicked from Apache because it's destroying it's image.
I know when the cord is stricken like this people here quickly label you a Troll. I don't care about that. I'm here to spread the gospel truth about Tapestry. I know someone who lost his job because of Tapestry's incompatibilities. I don't want this to happen again to someone else. So newbies, watch out. Chris, I see you constantly linking me to others. Who is that Francis? I hope he/she (since that name sounds female to me) is reading and would one day reply to you. Or maybe he/she is just laughing at your naivety, childishness and ignorance.
