I'm a big fan of Cocoon because it adheres elegantly to the
'seperation of concerns' principle, making any design pretty simple
to implement. On top of that, it's got a whole wealth of libraries
('blocks') and good documentation and demos so it's not too difficult
to pick up something new.
He says he prefers RoR because Ruby is an elegant language and rails
is the best rapid development framework he's used. I'm yet to be
convinced :)
I think the biggest thing about Cocoon which you didn't mention is
that, its a XML Pipeline framework.
Pipelining is nothing new but for a non-programmer that extra level of
abstraction means you can "construct" complex actions and applications
like lego bricks. This is a layer above classes and objects.
I have a HUGE interest in this because I'll be giving a talk at Xtech
07 about this exact subject -

Back to the real backstage story
This is a excellent idea and I would like to reveal that the new site
will in the future have a better way to tell these stories.
Cheers

This whole XML pipelining thing has captured my interest more than
anything else technological in the past year. Your talk looks
fascinating - I wish I could be there :(
Do you use much of this technology in the BBC? I haven't yet seen a good
example of it being used for anything particularly substantial - does it
have excessive overhead?
