[Seaside] Persistence in VW

[Dale Henrichs]

Oleg,

For a greenfield Seaside application you have a good point ...

If you are using the Smalltalk GUI heavily (as nearly all of our 
customers do) or if you are depending upon the VW class library, then 
GBS is still a very good solution for persistence.
