Also if one container is in some way better than another today, that may
not be the case in the future. Once we have a default, it will be hard
to change in the future. Not having a default also provides a fair
playing field for those who are contributing to the project and
encourages competition. Let the user decide.

This is obviously a hot topic and I hope that as a Geronimo PMC and
user community we are not forced to have to show preference of one
over the other. There is obviously some personal preferences on both
sides and we are a great open source project because we do not have to
get behind one *or* the other. We can get behind them both.
May I ask why the installer/wizard cannot have a page called "Choose
Your Web Container" and have an option for Jetty and Tomcat, but
neither selected? Does there need to be a default? Can we just let
the end user choose?
IMHO, I don't think we should provide a preference for one over the
other. I really like both. I think we should give the user the
choice without hinting a preference.
Thoughts and comments?
