I also used it at WOWODC this year for my presentation.  The ERAuthExample uses 
it, but it's not really pretty (not much css).

The main goals of the look are to have 100% validating markup, accessible 
markup, full localization, and to remain functional when javascript is off.

I also simplify rules and markup in the view whenever possible. For example, 
look at my inspect page template.  It's one template, but it handles inspect, 
edit, wizard pages and tab pages too. There's a lot of functionality packed 
into it. 

But at the same time it's less complex. It eliminates the need to use 
sectionsContents and tabSectionsContents RHSKeys and tab 
subtasks/pageConfigurations... Just give it a displayPropertyKeys in any of the 
three formats I covered in my presentation at WOWODC and it magically does the 
right thing.  Even the component is easy to read. The component html is only 8 
lines long.

What it does not have is a lot of ajaxy stuff that the other looks like modern 
or diva might include.  Should I want ajax, I'll typically design it as an 
add-on like the AjaxToolkit stuff in the support folder.  It also has a really 
plain/half finished stylesheet.  And since I'm the only one who uses/works on 
it, I don't have a lot of help when it comes to fixing my bugs (^_^)  

So it feels kinda like a half finished Death Star at times.  It's fully 
operational, but there's still some really obvious gaping holes that I haven't 
had the time/manpower to complete. I've considered hiring someone to do a 
really nice stylesheet for it, but then I'd just totally rearrange something 
like the PageWrapper on a whim and break it all anyway (^^)
