Frankly, you're the one that's being immature here -- as evidenced so
well by the subject of your post. If you've got your mind made up and
won't listen to legitimate suggestions from others, what's the point
of coming in here and posting like you did. You're acting out,
something a three year old does.
Now, this doesn't mean you don't have some legitimate gripes. It may
very well be that for your situation, Tomcat isn't suitable. That
doesn't mean it "sucks", or that it's not suitable for others. Your
situation just may be complex enough, or idiosyncratic enough, that it
will be problematic for you to use Tomcat. And perhaps for a number
of reasons, it's just not possible for you to spend a lot of time
trying to figure out how to get Tomcat to do what you want, you want
it to work the way you want out of the box, or have someone else
figure it out for you. So a heavy duty commercial product with
support may be a better choice for you. But it's going to cost you
(whereas Tomcat is free). But that's a choice you're making as to how
best to allocate your resources (and it may perfectly well be a
legitimate choice). Again, it doesn't mean Tomcat "sucks", it's just
not what you need (and I've probably heard complaints about most of
the other products out there, including commercial ones).
