Totally right in my opinion. Tapestry is not very newbie friendly at first, but when you get a hang of it it beats every other framework I tried out by a large margin. At least for me. But some totally artificial or useless application which is just done to demonstrate all of the features won't help much in my opinion. For these things an application like Jumpstart ist much much better suited. But all tutorials usually do the same things. Blogs, useless apps for managing [insert some simplistic hobby here], Petshop etc. But people and especially beginner will want to write webapplications with it. So why not combine the demonstration with something useful and start with basic building blocks almost every webapp needs? After that the really great work of Jumpstart can be much more easy appreciated.
