I don't follow your line of thought. One can go for the opposite direction and say that TG is easier to use so less people ask for help on the mailing list or that TG's book is a good source of information or that people prefer paid consulting for big projects or ... I don't see a problem betting on TG and I'm developing some big applications that will take me a long time -- from months to years. One key point is that TG aims to be modular. If you invest your time on it and you want to replace a component, you can do that. If for some reason you decide that you need a different approach and TG by itself doesn't allow you to take it, then you can keep the knowledge acquired and code created to use the tools apart from TG. Pylons has a similar characteristic, but it isn't true for Django. I'd either choose Pylons or TG. And today, it looks like TG is friendlier and easier to get started. Pylons might pay in the long run -- but then, you'll be able to use WSGI with TG as well and some app sharing between those might be possible. -- Jorge Godoy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
