Massimo, I never interpreted your request as a troll-like action.
Quite the contrary ... it seemed like a straightforward request for
the web2py user-base to respond with honest answers to a useful
question for framework recommendations.

I've briefly skimmed some of the flaming responses you've gotten, and
frankly, I'm amazed you have the time to respond to them at the level
of detail that you do. Frankly, I wish you would ditch answering the
bulletin boards and flamers and spend more time on the web2py docs and
website!!!

Doc is the highest-leverage activity possible right now for
disseminating accurate info about web2py. Lack of complete, up-to-date
doc is probably still the greatest hinderance to widespread adoption
of web2py IMHO. Let me qualify those last 2 statements. The doc you've
written is excellent, but dense. Dense in the sense that it is
parsimonious in its use of words and yet still conveys a lot of
information. That means it can be hard for someone like me to read, so
I have to re-read multiple times to get the full value of your
statements. I'm more persistent than most, so you probably lose a lot
of prospective users because of this. What is more aggravating,
however, is lack of doc on new capabilities. I spend a lot of time
sifting through this group to find out how to do things. It would be
easier if this info was in an updated reference manual plus user's
guide.

The web2py website is also in need of improved navigation and
organization IMHO. It can be hard to figure out where things are, or
where I am in terms of navigation if I jump in via a google search.

So, if I could manage your time (which I don't have time to do), I'd
have you spending much more time documenting, creating teaching
examples, and working on extending web2py. I would have you spending
much less time in that reddit thread.

Honestly, Massimo, all us web2py'ers are in your debt and we all know
it. Stick to your game plan and don't get distracted by flamers. Keep
up the excellent work.
