- It's developer friendly. Tapestry boosts the developer's productivity with unique class-reloading feature. With Tapestry you change the source code and see the results immediately. No redeploy, no restart are required! Exception reporting is very detailed and even contains suggestions.
- It's web-designers friendly. Tapesry pages are valid (X)HTML! You can just open them with your favorite browser!
- It encapsulates best practices: RESTful URLs, degradable JavaScript, XML-less configuration
- It integrates with Hibernate, Spring, Seam, Acegi, etc.
