Hi Iain, I'd definitely like to see a detailed example or some sample code too. It's difficult to choose from competing libraries and methodologies, and once you make a choice the tendency is to stick with it. A lot of my choices were shaped by the Pylons Book because it gave me a solid footing in SQLAlchemy and Routes, so the more I use those exclusively, the more likely I am to keep using them. These discussions are also sometimes phrased in terms of "routes vs. traversal", which makes it sound like an aesthetic choice rather than emphasizing that a good Pyramid developer should learn both techniques and when to use them.
Seeing example use cases could definitely provide that motivation, and focusing on the user experience sounds like a good way to do it. A lot of times we leave the UI to the html and javascript parts of our applications instead of structuring them at a lower level with the user experience in mind. Thanks!
