Apple silently killed WebObjects and abandoned it's users roughly a decade ago (in a somewhat less-than-honest manner (Floop-de-diddity-doo You, Apple)).

But the community marches on. I’m constantly impressed by how this community survives and keeps what's essentially a dead product the best IDE/web-framework combination available. But at the same time, it’s kind of triste. We’ll never get new users. No one will use a dead framework. I hesitate to recommend it myself.

We really need a future destination. I’ve found a future for my data in Cayenne (I’ve converted most of my WO/EOF projects to use Cayenne instead of EOF and it’s awesome) but I haven’t found any web frameworks that can even begin to compare to WO. And I’ve looked hard.
