Hi! I have been using TG for a long time, I started with TG1 and have done several small things living a long life, mostly TG2. Some professional some private and some for NGOs.
My most successfull project so far is a coordination and program booking system for a Swedish scout centre called Vässarö. I think part of TGs visibillity and marketing problem is that it's so lovely flexible. I give you two examples: I have managed to exchange MySQL as backend for CouchDB not loosing any data. I now use CouchDB completely as backend. I don't know any other framework that would allow me to do it so painless, it's hardly any change to the TG2 installation. The second thing is that I use Dojo as JavaScript lib and it's no problem although it's not standard. I suspect few develpers and designers are aware of how nice TG2 is off the road. On the road, you don't see it the same way. I should also add that for me JavaScript (and Dojo) is a larger challenge than TG2, except for figuring out how to do repoze stuff with CouchDB.
