I understand the general concept but I still miss the point. the HTML generated by {{=form}} can be replaced by the HTML generated with dreamweaver (*) and this is decoupled from the validation process that happens in the controller.
(*) you have to make sure your form includes {{=form.hidden_fields}}, somwhere displays {{=form.errors}} and fields have the proper names, values, and classes. I guess I do not see how they could be more friendlier. Can you give a concrete example? I do not see how web2py gets in the way of forms.
