I have no problem with the web-frameworks comparison presentation you have been making for a while, sure, it is probably highly entertaining in a conference setting, audience participation and all. For the record, I have never agreed with some of your conclusions, having followed your legendary presentation for the last four years or so, but that is another story altogether. Just one example is the fact that you gave Apache Wicket negative marks (was that 2007 or 2008?) because you couldn’t integrate Sitemesh (of all things), and you were trying to do this the night before your presentation. Many in the Wicket community remember this incident well.

Wicket should work on enabling easy integration of other web technologies instead of sticking to their MVC. Let people create their own tags and extensions.
And yaa, No more XML please

Lol, your comment means you never tried wicket. wicket has no own tags, wicket has no xml and last but not least wicket is NOT an MVC framework at least IMHO
RawThinkTank replied ago:
Seems like you confused wicket with SOA
peathal replied ago:
What do you mean? Did you try wicket or not?

From your comments I can see you must be a Matt R fan ;-)

What's up Anti-Raible DZone drive by? If you are attending Matt's talk expecting rigorous, scientific metrics, you are missing the point entirely. The point of Matt's talk is to try to get some of the attendees to start thinking about framework comparison for themselves.
peathal replied ago:
yes, true. But a lot managers think: Matt? Oh then the matrix is correct and we can rely on that (without knowing the matrix in context). BTW: matt correctly explains in this post again:
