Paul, you do sound like a troll, but I'll feed you a little. About Howard's looks : I met the man in person, he seemed to be quite likeable :-) Add to that his massive technical creds, his contribution to the web framework space and open source in general and he is a rock star ! He probably has open source groupies stalking him ever time he's at a conference :-)
Why Tapestry 4 ? Tapestry 5 is where active development happens , and gives you quite a bit more than T4.
