Hi guys, Tapestry did not make it to a recent Web frameworks report released by Zeroturnaround found here: http://zeroturnaround.com/rebellabs/the-2014-decision-makers-guide-to-java-web-frameworks/ .
This to me, and many others, is the clearest evidence yet that Tapestry has failed and that Tapestry is no more relevant. Tapestry, once a rising star with huge following, is reduced to rags with a very small cult following. Users of Tapestry now are mostly newbies to Java or just finished school and playing about with some home hobby projects. Or people, like Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo, who write applications not used by more than 3 people. Now, to hammer the last nails on Tapestry's coffin, I've decide to write a blog with the title: *The Rise and Fall of Tapestry*. The paragraphs I would discuss include: 1. The begin 2. How Tapestry betrayed it's users by breaking existing code base at any major release. 3. The arrogance of Howard Lewis *Ship* 4. When the 'H' in Howard became 'C' to form Coward. 5. When the Ship sank. 4. How Tapestry became a one-man project 5. Migration path to other web frameworks 6. How Tapestry would be remembered. 7. Why Howard finally embraced Wicket and started using it in his clients' projects. 8. When Tapestry became Wicketstry or Tapwickstry. ... I want to have 10 points to write about in my blog. Please feel free to suggest some other points for me. I have to mention that I will strictly moderate comments on my blog in order to filter out venomous comments from Tapestry cult trolls like the ones I've seen here the last few days. Please contribute. Cheers
