Hi! I come from a mvc framework background in a few different languages (java, php, ruby). I'm only a couple weeks into web2py, I'm finding web2py a joy to work with. I won't waste your time with the features it provides, as you can find these on the website. There is also a copy of the lead developer's book on the site, and its very well written. If web2py intrigues you, I would recommend just trying it for a few days. It's pretty small (relatively few exposed classes and functions) and very comprehensible, so you won't really have to invest much if you decide to try it and don't like it. The mailing list is active and responsive, and the lead developer happens to have chimed in on every question i've asked. On the down side, the irc community is very small.
