Just to chime in one last time because of new thoughts, I would like to emphasise that I'm still a huge fan of design/superior code ~almost~ being more important than any other factor.
It's the reason why I chose/still love tapestry. (It can't overcome the language limitations) Of course there are practical considerations to be made, but I think Howard has been made to suffer through some binding things for long enough. ;) Also, like many other clever people have mentioned, this doesn't mean that 4.0 has to be a dead project at all right? I'm sure a lot of features and back filling of things can/will still be added to it, but you can't get into the architecture game without being ok with throwing away some code once in a while. (imho) Let's just hope retroweaver will give us all that we want and desire ;) On 12/20/05, Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > +1 on moving to 1.5 for me, anything that makes my life easier :) > > I think if the backwards compatibility provided by retroweaver can be > reasonably worked in then we're all happy right? > > It's a tough decision.
