As a happy (if that's possible :-) user of Twisted and Nevow, please add the snippet below to the Success Stories page if you'd like.<br><br>Since I'm delurking now, I might as well 'fess up that I run Twisted on Windows for development (I'm part of the silent mass of Windows users that Glyph was looking for), but I use Linux for production. And since the performance of PostgreSQL sucks on Windows (at least up through PostgreSQL
8.0), I only do heavy duty testing on Linux. I have looked at the skipped Twisted tests on Windows, but have not yet found any that I could fix myself. Though if anyone has suggestions I'd be welcome to devote a little time to helping out.
<br><br>Here's some general feedback:<br>1. Core of Twisted is really solid. Design is excellent, and almost all problems I encounter have already been taken into account in API.<br>2. I've gotten burned when trying to keep synchronous-style code synchronous, like by using the naughty deferredResult. I did it (just in my admin tool) even though you guys say not too. The only way to learn not to do it is to touch the flame and get burned.
<br>3. Nevow is still moving a lot, but you guys know that. Parts of it are as good as Twisted. Even though I initially loved stan, I got wacked by its performance and had to move to more string based rendering, since my app is really dynamic I can't use standard type templates at all.
