Hello all, Just to add my situation to the mix... I use TG professionally in a university scientific environment, for reasons similar to the ones Damien gave. It's full stack, and uses SQLAlchemy. I'm very grateful to the TG developers. It haven't encountered any good TG alternatives, though I'd be happy to learn what they might be. I've seen frameworks that do part of what TG does, but nothing that does all of what TG does.
I agree that there are problems with the level of support and community participation. Some of this has to do with the fact that TG includes a lot of separate pieces. For example, if I have a ToscaWidgets question, that goes to the level of TW support rather than TG support. I read the mailing list. If I saw a question that I could help with, I'd do so, but that doesn't happen very often.
