If you know the product as the back of your hand, yes, you think everything is dirt easy, but it is overwhelming to get started. (The good news is that it is 10x better now than in the "old days", when you needed ~10 additional downloads and installations.) In fact, I think Cocoon is so powerful, that it has kind of grown out of its "servlet" image. It should traverse to the next level (or two), and has its own deployment system. Collect your stuff (sitemap and all) into a JAR and "hand it over". It is almost like that already, and should be a fairly easy addition to make, but the developer community is much more focused on additional features. Well, well...
