I personally haven't but someone I know from where I work has built it
and has it running, and he says it is very nice indeed. He is a smart
man, so I respect his judgement. He has not, to my knowledge, tried
WebObjects on it.
I had the version (7.4) from Cygwin working on windows with WO, but it
was a bit fiddly to get working...once I had Postgres working, WO worked
just fine against it. So I am hoping that JDBC insulates any nasties
from WO, and it will work just fine.
Good luck with your ventures, and let us know your experiences with it.
The feature list does indeed look nice.
