Hi Sid, Well, speaking as the author I can give you this insight:
Pros: *Easy to quickly setup pages that are editable. You can have editable text regions, pictures, and so on. *The data model is non-destructive for updates. Meaning, you can define a certain object, add more attributes later, all without destroying existing data. This allows you to meet the ever-changing needs of clients without destroying previous work and content. *Very simple API *Great for small-medium clients Cons: *The code is "select heavy." The InstantMutableObjects are mutable because they don't rely on a flat data for their structure. As such, each object will require at least one select per object, in addition to the query that called it up. If you run a high traffic website this might kill your database. If the client isn't pushing tons of traffic then it's absolutely fine. It's a trade off between simplicity and performance, I guess. Overall, the plugin just makes it easier to meet the requirement of allowing a client to "update" regions on their page. I noticed that many people spend a lot of time creating interfaces to do this, or installing complicated CMSs, so I figured that the task should be commodified so the developer can get onto more pressing work. It's one of those things where if you've done it a million times, you've done it a million times. What I've done with the plugin is stripped away all of the custom work I did on the plugin for clients and put it up in more or less raw form. Let me know if you have any questions!
