As I see it, Seaside allows you to build web apps in the same style as
classic client/server apps (like you would do with the Canvas tool in
VW, or WindowBuilder in VA, etc.), but with one glaring exception:
Seaside doesn't easily accommodate a GUI-painter.
Sounds like he wants both of those (client/server style web development,
like Seaside can do, plus a GUI painter).
I don't think he wants just cgi-style web apps to a Comanche module.
In an earlier version of Seaside, I experimented with using Dreamweaver
as the GUI-painter, and then wiring those screens into Seaside
afterwards. I actually had something that seemed to work OK, but have
no idea how easy it would be to get it working in Seaside 2.x. Plus, I
never documented it.
