Hi,

I���m a very happy Iliad user but I���m wondering if it would make sense to switch to Seaside for commercial development since it has a larger user base. I have only used Seaside briefly to try it out and found I was more happy with Iliad back then, but now I���d like to hear your input. Especially from those of you who use it for business applications with paying customers. My questions are:

- does Seaside support partial updates of the DOM, like Iliad, or do I need to refresh the whole website for every interaction?

- Iliad has REST-like URLS that look clean and can be shared, Seaside seems not to. Is this possible with Seaside?

- directly writing javascript. I suppose there is a WAComponent that can emit raw JS?

- what is the status of Websocket / Comet in Seaside?

Is there anything else I should consider?

thanks,
Siemen
