Hi Sam!! Hope you didn't find my post critical of you. It wasn't my intent. I'm very grateful for the high quality work that is/was datamapper and for your support while I was learning it.
All good programmers boast about a thing or two they "invented", me included. I wouldn't have it any other way. ;)
I just looked at your site and realized you were the guy I've been feeling sorry for all this time since you were one of the early production adopters. I'm glad to hear it's been a pretty smooth experience. I can stop carrying around that guilt. ;-)
Oh, and since this thread is about Web Frameworks, try Harbor (http://wiecklabs.com). :-D
Lesson learned about being to vocal/open too early, but Harbor and the related projects are seriously good stuff if I do say so myself. Also look for a major open-sourcing of a user-management/authorization system built on Harbor in the next day or two at http://github.com/wiecklabs.
