Being self contained, simple and with smartgrid, integrated Auth, and even wiki engine and now again with updated pyrtf web2py could still have great future as a a framework for company internal web database apps (also easy field calculations) to replace I. E. Lotus notes or ms access apps and internal processes via forms and knowledge management for citizen developers.
Also speed is not so important for this apps. While py4web is a fast open API first backend framework for modern SPAs and mobile apps. I would use this for thst use cases plus any customer facing or SaaS app. Both frameworks could be used for equal use cases, but that is how I currently see their sweet spots when compared.
