Thanks Ramsey,

I didn't know WOLips did that. That is cool :-)

Anyway I think we table this discussion... This is a WO list after all. I 
probably should have kept my mouth shut.

For Andrew, Chuck, Mark, Jim, and others I'll give one quick overview and 
be done. Everything is out there on the net anyway.

When I picked up Ruby on Rails after attending a "No Fluff Just Stuff" 
convention I thought to myself "Did these people ever use WebObjects?" To 
me you need to learn and use WO before you can even think about making 
something better.

When I picked up Seaside and tried doing stuff with it I thought "Wow, 
this guy made WO Better." All the plumbing is there and it makes sense.

Back in 2009 I wrote this blog post that explains this a bit more:

http://www.somethingiknow.com/aaronCorner/aaronSoftwareBlog/What_happened_to_WebObjects

Briefly I'll add the following:

Smalltalk -> Eclipse plus Java and JRebel combined
Seaside -> WebObjects, AJAX, WOnder without the EOF bits - "magic" 
component actions, synchronization of bindings, and sessionless direct 
actions.
Magritte -> D2W
Monticello -> GIT
Swazoo -> WOMonitor, WOTaskd
Gemstone -> Object database on par with Oracle (expensive, widely used)
Magma -> Object database on par with Postgress (open source, not as widely 
used)
Handful of ORM solutions for relational db -> on par with Hibernate

All those times you use WO and say "it's magic" you get that same feeling 
with Seaside. Very few frameworks do this well.
