For anyone who's reading this exchange who hasn't worked with recent releases of Dexterity, I'd like to put all this in perspective. All, of course, my humble opinion, but informed by experience using, documenting and training our toolset.
1) Dexterity's features — right now — work better than Archetypes. (Admittedly, Dexterity is not as feature complete.) It's faster, cleaner, more flexible and more testable. 2) Dexterity's documentation is — right now — in better shape than the Archetypes docs. That's in part because it hasn't been exposed to so much entropy. 3) Dexterity is — right now — more trainable than Archetypes. Does this mean everything's shiny and fine? Of course not. Lots left to do. And suggestions, bug tickets, and even gripes that swim in petulant bad attitude are welcome. But, let's not lose perspective on the overall situation.
