Well,

Ok, let me be a bit stronger then, "easily deployed, easily modified" is
wrong, because...

easily deployed: assumes you want to run a generic stand-alone version,
with Tomcat for fun, not use it in anger.

easily modified: unless you already have an OFBizer in your midst, or
pay for consultancy, the learning curve is painful. Once you grasp the
concepts, sure it's faster than anything else, but if you're reading the
marketing jargon, chances are you've not got that far with
minilang/SECAS/GenericDelegator/LocalDispatcher/Screen Widgets/Form
Widgets (to name a few)...

So, I'd rather not see the marketing stuff make "subjective" claims when
there are plenty of objective plus points.

I do like the tone of this text though, it's just the sort of thing
OFBiz needs :-)
