Ok, so how about something like this:

"Seaside lets developers build highly interactive web applications, 
quickly, reusably and maintainably."

Personally, I'm not sure about "reusably." It kind of brings to mind 
that "component market" that failed to materialize in the 90s. It's true 
that Seaside components can be reused within an application in a way 
that's usually pretty difficult in a web app, but I don't like the 
association.
