That's what I was trying to get at earlier I guess. There are some
tools which make the easy stuff easier and are ideal for relatively simple
projects. From a reality check standpoint though, I think *most* projects
are simple. For everyone writing a 10,000 concurrent user e-business app
running atop a multiplexed server farm, there are probably 1,000 guys out
there writing simple little CRUD apps to people can update the corporate
phone list over the web.
So it's a matter of choosing the right tool for the job. If tapestry
becomes more and more of a "high end" tool, I think it's going to have a
narrower and narrower user pool. At some point it may cross the threshold
where my projects usually sit and then I'll be in the unfortunate position
of thinking "now why would I use that atomic bomb to kill a mouse?".
