OK, sorry about my tone. It was a really crappy day at work yesterday,
you know how that goes?

It just frustrates me to see everyone in Python constantly creating
their own web framework instead of joining in an existing project to
make it better. It's like if they didn't write every line of code,
then it must be crap, and so another half-assed framework is born. The
reason why Ruby on Rails has all the mindshare is because there really
is only one Ruby framework, and everyone in that community is solidly
behind Rails.

The way that everyone is going on here about creating new APIs, new
design tools, etc., you'd think that this hasn't already been done! So
maybe Dabo doesn't do everything you could think of, but instead of
writing it off without even trying to get it to work, why not see what
those guys can come up with? I'm sure with a few more smart
contributors we'll have dabo.ui doing everything raw wxPython does,
only better.
