Rob, You may have a point or two.
That what you describe as one of the best Internet applications has beta status suggests that some beta code is as good as / better that other production code. I would have to agree. I've had production apps running on Tapestry alpha code for some time. The length of time that Gmail has been in beta is, however, a cop-out. To me, it's Google's way of saying, "Don't blame us." Come on Google, stand behind your application! I suspect that will change as they market more heavily to small business. It would have been more useful had you picked another application framework to compare to Tapestry for stability and time in beta. Perhaps next time. That you personally don't do anything with Tapestry beyond a Hello World application... oh, never mind, that's too easy a target.
