I think the problem is not whether we are "pro-choice" or not. As far as 
possible, components should be made replacable.

But an important point is that there should be *ONE* "mainstream" choice 
  made for you by the experts (onw way of doing it). From so many 
postings in this group,  I conclude that to be spoilt for choice is one 
of the main problems of TurboGears (and Python generally, in comparison 
with Ruby). And this is completly understandable. A big part of the 
usefulness of a framework is that it makes good choices for you, things 
you don't need to worry about so that you can concentrate on your actual 
application. It's all about saving time and getting productive quickly. 
Being able to make choices is wonderful, but it is also difficult and 
time-consuming and can leave you with a dim feelign of doubts about your 
choice. Life is easier if these choices are already made for you.

Another aspect is documentation. If you depart from the mainstream 
choice, you'll be on your own since it will not be covered in the docs 
(e.g. the TG book) and there will be few other users to help you.
