Many in Fortune 500 companies.

It solved, a decade ago, issues of web deployment that I still hear people complain about today, and are looking for a solution. Heck, I heard it today in a meeting. "We're using ASP .NET, and we're thinking about using WinForms, but the migration looks costly, and it's unproven..." I just chuckled.

I sure as hell hope WOF 6 gets an ObjC facelift. WebScript for ObjC in WOF was a nice scripting angle from the 3.x days.

Apple charged too much for WebObjects back in the day, something ludicrous like $10,000 per license. Granted, they charge less now, but they missed the boat.

I worked with WebObjects about 7 years ago, and it was still impressive then. It was like a combination of Hibernate, Spring and Tapestry, all with respective GUIs for configuration.
