The problem in your case I see is that you tried to change/rewrite lenya
completely regarding the backend. When I first read on the ml I thought
by myself it is overkill for one person and reading your mail now I
guess it really was.
I do not think that the choice for Lenya is singly responsible for the
outcome of your recommendation/development. I guess that would have
happened with any other open source cms where you tried that radical
changes on your own.
The core code which ran my backend was only 2-3 weeks of one person's
work. That part of the code worked fine. It all fell apart when I
tried to make lenya do more dynamic things like an amazon style
shopping system with categorized products, searching, and ecommerce
integration.
I don't think that sort of thing would ever be possible in lenya's
current incarnation. Cocoon especially prevents lenya from being able
to render pages dynamically. Eg, the shopping cart page which shows
the products someone has selected to purchase. From memory, I got the
render time for a cart with 10-20 products down to about 0.2 seconds
of server processing. That's simply unacceptable if you're going to
have even 100 people hitting your site.
So in essence you're right. It was overkill. I was trying to make
lenya do something it wasn't designed for.
