I've quite a few very active projects based on nevow/athena, (operating
at 100k hits/day) dubbing nevow/athena as 'a large pile of aging
JavaScript' sounds like it's going to be thrown overboard and simply
does not credit who's credits are due.
Just to stir the pot, with a broad userbase and still having 30% of the
users sitting at IE6, nevow/athena is THE single bidirectional framework
which deserves this name and spans everything up to the most recent
implementations although there are some bug fix reviews outstanding in
the for me important part of attaching/removing elements.
In my opinion there is nothing really comparable to nevow/athena out
there (may be node.js is slowly evolving in that direction) adoption of
RIAs is painfully slow, people are content with 'search proposal' type
pages and take it for granted that every highly interactive browser
based app is Flash driven.
Writing RIAs was what fed me for last few years so if nevow/athena is
going to be flushed count me in as able to host it on trac/svn
