Why are you waiting for swordfish? I don't have swordfish, but
I've been developing a pretty complex web application for the

In REALbasic? or PHP?
REALbasic (of course!).
Want to describe to us, in broad terms, how you are doing it?
Sure -- I started with Jon's "Write a Web Server in 100 Lines"
example, and then expanded it to handle POST (and HEAD) requests,
and to serve up dynamically-created pages and handle the responses.
Basically, once you have a web server running, it's pretty easy to
make it do anything you'd do in Swordfish or any other web
development tool.
Still, a webserver encompasses more than just serving some web pages.
Besides, I think most people waiting for swordfish want a simple IDE
(using simple out-of-the-box REALbasic controls, which are then
translated to XHTML and CSS), so they don't have to deal with XHTML,
CSS, JavaScript (i.e. AJAX-driven parts of the page) and yet another
programming language.
As not much is known about Swordfish, they could be in for a serious
disappointment.
