yes, of course, but then it means the designer needs to use them,
plus, how do they exactly work?
in wicket, if i want to create a list of things, my html will look
something like this:
<span wicket:id = "comments">
<p>
<span wicket:id = "date">1/1/2004</span><br>
<span wicket:id = "text">Comment text goes here.</span>
</p>
</span>
and my code like this:
add(new ListView("comments", commentList)
{
public void populateItem(final ListItem listItem)
{
final Comment comment =
(Comment)listItem.getModelObject();
listItem.add(new Label("date",
comment.date.toString()));
listItem.add(new MultiLineLabel("text",
comment.text));
}
});
none of the above were created specifically for this use case, and the
html looks very natural

oh, but wicket supports dynamic content, ajax, everything

yes, everything i can do in wicket, i can do in django. but everything
i can do in django i can do in php. but i guess you still find django
better, right? it's not a question of being able to do things, more
about readability and maintenance
