well, and there is so much more than that - it's hard to describe sometimes...
Have a running site in web2py? User request means adding something to that user table they / you forgot to think about? No problem - first live update (which is scary) goes without a hitch (adding a new field to an existing table is probably the least scary of the things you could do; I wouldn't remove any! - too scary)... Did you need to restart the server? No! The next request will alter the table, and the person on the phone with you will just say "Oh! There it is!!! How did you do that? Gee - thanks!" Need a report someone asked you for that is really weird - one off; nothing you want to put in the code base, no one else will ever need it again ... or maybe you're not convinced the requestor has thought it thru and just want to give him one report for him to noodle on? No problem! log into your server, fire up a web2py shell instance (on the running site - it's ok, it's just another thread), enter the lines of code to see if you got that select statement right, and then save / send / email the result and exit the shell. You can develop this way too... Run web2py - 2 windows: admin, and site; add a shell (if you have ipython, you'll have all sorts of nice completions) - and your favorite ide.... Add the basics in admin, seed the data; now to the website, and try it as a user; need to change somethnig, not sure what ... test out a few python "phrases" in the shell - Ah! there's what I wanted - put it into the file w/ the admin interface; test; repeat... Idea giving you bigger ideas? Make those bigger changes in your IDE on the live site, and test... Wow.... How do you put this in a slide or two? I dunno.... About the only thing not there (_yet_) is a layout manager you can assign controllers to pieces of the screen (but jpolite port is a start to even that). So.... How does one compare, without deploying, living with user issues, and being comfortable enough with the environment to "get" what this provides you in the trenches? I don't know.... I hope more expreience this aspect....
