I am happy Click user.
But my manager has too much free time ;-)
So I need help.
He read many articles about http://www.playframework.org/ and
http://www.grails.org (nothing dangerous yet, but bad sign).
They both have some cool features, but I think they are step back after
component frameworks.
I'm most of the time in the same situation. There seems to be
predominantly two kind
of managers I'm always encountering:
1. very conservative - will stick only to the industry standard to be
100% on the sure side.
2. very very hype driven.
Both illogical, who at the end won't give too much on the opinion of
their developers.
Regarding both Play and Grails, they also have a very good "code
generators".
(I suppose this is why RoR and other similar frameworks impress so much
at first sight - the first impression is a very powerful psychological
factor, and generating a good part of the app in a few minutes always
seems to win against experience an logic)
I hope the new Click Quick Start generator:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-531
will offer Click a similar advantage.
What you think?
Which arguments you can suggest to prevent this "frameworks reading" ;-)
From my limited experience, the best way to "convince" such illogical
managers is to show them some incredibly good looking demo app made with
Click.
This is very hard (you need to make one for yourself), because there
aren't many demos or open source apps based on Click (most Click apps
I've seen are for the intranet only) :(.

Andrei.
