Hey, I understand ;-) Only you are going to be able to make the decision
whether its easier to build on something existing (like Barracuda), or to
roll your own solution. Barracuda does have a fairly steep learning
curve, -but- its also incredibly flexible...you could plug in your own DOM
structure, plug in custom renderers, or as Jake said, you could even roll
your own components. Actually, you wouldn't even have to use the component
model at all if you didn't want to - the various Barracuda layers were
designed to be able to be used independently of one another, so if you
wanted to use the Event and Form models, and then use something else for
actually rendering responses back to the client, you could totally do that.
I don't think you'll find many other frameworks that are that flexible...

...but then again I am a bit biased too ;-)

At any rate, we'll be happy to help answer any questions you might have, so
feel free to holler.

(ps - I am trusting that you have downloaded a recent copy of the source
from cvs...that will make playing with the examples and benchmarking much
easier)
