Sure, I'm glad you'd be willing to give Passenger another chance. I
understand that since you moved away from Passenger in the past, that
you'd be more skeptical now. And for good reason; the points you
raised regarding imposing a structure etc are very valid. As much as
I'd hate to admit, we did fail in a number of areas in the past by not
making things configurable enough, or making things too magical.

But we've learned a lot since those times, and we kept improving
Passenger as well as learning from Unicorn. Unicorn is wonderful
wonderful technology and Eric Wong is a brilliant guy. We even
contributed to Unicorn because we liked its design so much, and
introduced a lot of improvements in Unicorn back to Passenger, with
further improvements. For example the recent out-of-band garbage
collection work in Passenger is inspired by Unicorn. Many parts in
Passenger 4 are complete redesigns compared to earlier versions.

In the end, you should use whatever technology fits your needs best.
Maybe that's Passenger, or maybe not, which is also fine. :) In any
case we'll keep on improving Passenger and advancing the state of
things.
