I'm sorry, Ken. Your rational perspective is no match for the Fear

Tto append your comments, Ken, and to further argue my way into a
stable state of mind again, this is a technology that has been around
since the NeXT days. (this is where I get to "gloat" about going to
a college with "the largest NeXT network in the world." I even pried
a logo off a machine for posterity.) It is a terribly functional,
serious development platform that Apple probably devotes 10 man hours
a year to maintaining. Once you read the manual, you appreciate how
much it can do, and how much more functional it is than any other web
app development tool out there. That also means it is complicated
and appeals to a limited audience. Personally, even with the talk of
Ruby, I think that WebObjects' time still has not come. I don't
think that until the Script Wars get fought out will we see what will
provide the level of integration that WebObjects does. Anyone who's
written Perl, Ruby or JScript and WebObjects knows that there is
nothing like it. Scripted languages simply don't give you the same
control over the whole model with the same performance.
Though I believe it is possible that we could get stuck with the same
crappy WebBuilder interface, I hope they just don't throw WO out. If
they do, maybe it is time to breath life into Wotonomy - with Wonder
integrated . . . WonderTonomy. Sounds like a cirque de soleil act.

Less we forget, there's the attempt (somewhat) of rebuiding WO 4.5.1
