That would exactly not solve one of the problems, which is: given that
there are multiple frameworks around, what is the different focus of
each one? After last night, I have some feeling that I might want to go
for Django if setting up a community site or a newspaper (but maybe not
a shop), Rails if I have an application I need to set up very quickly,
but where my data is likely to be simple and not need too many joins to
fetch from the database, Catalyst if I want total flexibility but don't
mind spending time learning about a lot of modules by different authors.
But why might I want to use maypole and not catalyst? (or vice versa)?
To show that kind of thing, you'd want each framework to take an example
of the kind of application it is best at and show how it can be
implemented.
