I posted a question on a list I participate in and this is the conversation so far. I thought the discussion had some useful information, so I'm posting it with Ed's permission:

Does anyone here have any opinions about QuickForm, the PEAR package? I am using it in a fairly big way right now, that is, the app I'm writing using QuickForm will serve as a checkout form to a store application and there are many stores which will be using it. I've used it here and there on other projects and I've worked on a project where it was the technology of choice for form construction, but I've never run across any opinions about it.

My opinion is that it is quite good, and I don't understand why it seems to be used very rarely. Maybe there's something wrong with it I just don't see. Or maybe it's just sort of obscure.
