reading all of the suggestions made me think about why *i've* used castle libraries for years. this in turn lead me to think about what sort of tagline a competing project would need to have on their front page to make me even consider trying it. and, for me, it comes down to usefulness -- i use castle because it lets me get my work done faster, writing less code. i feel like something along this line would hit home with others looking to investigate the project for the first time. something like: 'Get more done, with less code', or 'Streamline your .net development with the most forward-thinking libraries available', or 'Write applications, not utilities' ... etc etc.
