Koen,
we are using and paying a wt license since two years now.
We have choosen WT for a simple reason, and I guess other have adopted Wt
for the same reason:

  *Never ever put your hands in html/css coding*

at first glance with the new layout we tought that we had only learn
again how to
use layout in WT.
I can understand tons of bugs in the new layout managment but I wouldn't expect
that the reason we adopted Wt was not valid anymore.

Please tell us that is not mandatory to use CSS-based layouts.

Regards
Gaetano Mendola

PS: We are still not able to port our application to new layout manager.
