That's kind of a rude statement to make on this list, where all of these people are offering free software and support to you. It's been a few years since I last evaluated WebObjects, but it certainly didn't seem like a panacea. It had a number of interesing ideas behind it, but its insistence on trying to hide all the details of the browser interaction made some simple things very hard, especially since it tried to keep all of the state information server-side. The problems it had with back buttons and multiple browser windows come to mind. It also seems to encourage design where browsers directly request a view, rather than calling a controller which chooses a view depending on the outcome of processing. That could be just a shortcoming of their introductory documentation though. - Perrin
