Totally agree. Most recently I’ve built an extensive tablet app using T5.4 + PhoneGap.
It’s massively AJAX, but I didn’t have to think about it very much - thanks to Zones. It employs only 5 pages instead of a few hundred - thanks to components and Zones. SPA without pain! The small amount of custom JavaScript is done as components and is beautiful (I'd never before thought that possible) - thanks to T5.4 using RequireJS. It runs so fast - fast enough to fool most into believing it is a native app - thanks to Zones, RequireJS, and T5.4’s asset handling (and AWS)! But most of all, it has been a joy to build, and it has let me focus on the domain most of the time, which I can’t say is true of any other framework I’ve used (not even GWT). Tapestry, and especially Tapestry 5.4, I take my hat off to you.
