Such comparison is obviously needed for anyone choosing among both
frameworks, but any attempt so far, be benchmarking or answering to
general questions, was strongly rejected from Seaside community.
What I would propose is that maybe you start composing such comparison
table with questions and answers for a Seaside side, then maybe someone
else already knowledgeable on Aida will answer for its side. We can then
discuss here about validity and correctness of that answers and later
invite even Seaside community to comment.
I can open a web page on www.aidaweb.si for now. I know, not quite a
neutral place, but we can find better one later.
What do you and others think?
Best regards
JAnko
