Essentially Puakma is about choice. We at wnc can now create immensely flexible solutions for our customers without being at the mercy of the big name vendors. You may cry "opensource", but opensource in its current form is not a sustainable business model thus will die, leaving us all with the expense and bloat of the likes of websphere.
I believe the J2EE architecture is somewhat flawed and when it was originally devised was only an incremental step beyond serving static html files. Because IBM & co have invested so heavily in it they will never admit to their customers that it has shortcomings. If the J2EE architecture is so fantastic, why then have Microsoft headed in a completely different direction with .NET?
We are able to create a more productive server environ simply because we are a small highly cohesive team. We do not have the million dollar budgets, endless meetings and high operating overheads that the big companies have. This means we can act quickly and ensure quality.
