All due respect, but perhaps its not the tool itself but how it's current being used. I use Maven day-to-day and we've been cranking small, independently releasable modules out as part of Tynamo with an increasing pace (which of course is only one of the projects where I use Maven) and we just don't have any problem with it. If Tapestry's build wasn't organized as a monolithic multi-module build where everything is released together, it'd be far easier to evolve the different parts of Tapestry independently, and releasing would be much less of a pain.
