In my opinion, frequent updates are only "inflicted" if you don't have
a choice.
As a newbie not only to Turbogears, but to web development in general,
I can relate to feeling some frustration about a lot of choices in the
world of Python web development. I have a lot of experience with
Python, so I naturally wanted to use it to make web pages. After an
initial attempt with Zope, I went googling for Python web frameworks
and found a quote something like this:
"Python, the only language with more web frameworks than keywords"
And even scarier, I don't know if it is an exaggeration or not :)
Even within Turbogears there are lots of choices. Who really cares
though? It's all Python. I feel quite comfortable using SQLObject
and Kid. I chose these because I wanted some hand holding to get
going in the wild west of Python web development (I used the
Turbogears book. It has it's flaws, but it was very helpful).
SQLObject and kid work great for me. Everything I see in Turbogears
development points to continued support for not only these components,
but for Turbogears 1.0 itself. If I need to change in the future, I
noticed that Genshi has adopted kid's syntax. How cool is that? I
can use the latest and greatest with mostly the same syntax I already
learned.

Why in the world would you say that? Like you said.... If it ain't
broke, don't fix it.
Just two cents (possibly less) from a newbie,
Brian
