Since I'e tried cgikit 
(http://www.spice-of-life.net/cgikit/index_en.html), I've regretted I 
hadn't discovered it earlier. I really like developing with it. It runs 
as cgi, and clearly separates your code from the layout (you  don't put 
code in the layout. For example, you have a tag CKCondition, whose 
content is printed if its condition is true, but the value of the 
condition is set in the code, not in the layout where you don't even 
specify what's the condition, that happens in the binding file).

You can really create components you can reuse later. For example, I've 
made a component to list rows taken from a database, with the 
possibility of some fields being html links, some fields being hidden, 
etc. I developed it once, and I can reuse it as is in completely other 
projects.

Really worth a try....

PS: I think I read somewhere it has some similarities with webobjects, 
but the language is ruby.
