I'm about six months off recommending it everyone. :) I think it's really good, and I use it personally for some things, but it's fair to point out it's a bit cutting edge.
I don't think it's cutting edge even though you probably mean *in a Plone context*. I very rarely, if ever, run into issues using it.
It works and does so much better than formlib ever did. And there's documentation!
I'd also miss a few contributed widgets (like captcha and UberSelectionWidget, lack-of-finished-UI-notwithstanding). I think it's mainly documentation and amount of available examples that'd put me off recommending it to someone who wanted to stay on the boring side of the technology curve.
FWIW, I created an uberselection sort of widget called "queryselect"; it has similar functionality although perhaps slightly less polished. It comes with ``plone.app.z3cform``.
Right. Formlib certainly has its quirks. But Plone depends on it, which means that Plone needs it to at least work somewhat well. :-)
It won't stop working just because people transition to z3c.form.
Please don't get me wrong - like I said, I love plone.z3cform and I think z3c.form is a better library than formlib ever was. It's just fair to point out that this is quite new in the Plone world.
But you're doing more than that; you're saying that you can't recommend using it for another six months. What do you think is going to happen in those months?
