Richard, its a shame you feel like that. Your comments about examples are noted, however you must bear in mind that both scala and lift are young (relatively speaking) and a lot of the applications that are out there, are behind corporate firewalls (including mine) - so don't be fooled into thinking lift is not production ready or feeling that its not usable, were just a little lacking right now in the documentation, but 100% *not* lacking in the implementation (lift rocks out)
Stuff like ecommerce will grow up around lift as more people adopt it - the same was true for rails... When I started using rails there were naff all examples out there, so we just had to get on and make some - years later and the story is very different. The same will no doubt happen for Lift... Its just a waiting game - its people like your good self who can help with this: invest a bit of time and write some examples for the benefit and learning of all. Let me just say this, as its probably the best advice I can give: If you do decide to go with lift, you will not regret it. The rest of the lift team are some of the best developers and architects I have ever had the fortune to work with - and they all give up large amounts of their time to participate and help the community... To that end the lift community is one of the most intelligent and welcoming out there. Over the past two years this has pretty much been my experience and im sure others will concur. Good luck with your project and I hope you might reconsider your viewpoint on lift.
