I like actions the way they are - they are very simple to understand. If you have a hello "Aaron" type app its easy to setup a servlet like
def writeContent(self):
self.write('<form><input type="text" name="username"><submit name="_acctionHello"</form>');
def hello(self): self.write('Hello %s' % self.request().value('username','No User Name'))
Where it gets all annoying, though, is preAction and postAction, which are like an anemic form of the writeHTML, writeHead, writeTitle, writeStyleSheet etc. setup that Page has for normal requests. Or, where you don't want to write anything, but way to treat the action as an action (i.e., something that does something, not something that merely changes the display) -- there again preAction and postAction get in the way.
