Heh, it seems that I've had good smell to choose one over another. :-)

When we're on this topic...can we say that component is something like (custom)
content-type which can be put on the page and one can use several of such
(content-type) blocks on one page?

Some CMS-es are fond of inline-editing feature where one can move those blocks
around, edit them etc. Personally, I do not find it is required to have it

I had expected lot from that project, but it looks it is not advancing very
rapidly as it was planned. Pinax talk was long ago...
