In my opinion it seems to be.

I think that a good "framework" for building a Seaside/Magma app would
be to take Gjallar (www.gjallar.se) and use it as a starter.

It has a Magma session pool, some nice Seaside components to get a
"standard table-o-contents-to-the-left using CSS" look, lots of other
"ground work" stuff like logging, a scheduler running services (like
cron in a unix system), users, LDAP integration for users (firstname,
lastname, password, username, email) etc etc.

I could probably write an article about this in whic I could build a
small app using Gjallar as a base. Hmmm. So much fun to do, so little
time. :)
