Hi Jeremy, I wrote most of the wikipedia entry on WebObjects, including the bit in the intro about WO's declining position in the marketplace (see below).
We need to remember that Wikipedia is designed for entries of encyclopedic standard... it's most definately not a PR site for WebObjects or anything else! I think the entry is as pro-WebObjects as it can possibly be without being biased. If anything it could actually do with a "Disadvantages" section as I only posted an "Advantages" section!
