Hi John, You make some good points, but...
> Let us be blunt about this. Web2py is out there megalomaniacally > presenting itself as all things to all people at a web framework > level. I don't think this is quite fair. web2py is presented as a general purpose framework for building web applications (which covers a lot of ground), but I think Massimo and everyone else recognize it's not necessarily the right tool in every conceivable circumstance. > ...Django does not present itself as all > things to all people. At the top level Django presents itself as a > commercially backed niche product suitable for simple content > presentation of small organisations (such as regional newspapers). That's not at all the impression I've gotten. Read the Django FAQ: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/faq/general/#why-does-this-project-exist > Since Apache spawns or > maintains a thread for each request, this means that each server needs > to be able to maintain nearly 114 threads per server at once.

I think the point being made about Disqus was that your criticism was not unique to web2py, though it sounded as if it was. Anthony
