Hi folks,
I am doing a small presentation on Play Framework next week, and I
would like to gather some comments from the "Play!ers" around the
world on what it is that you think is so good with Play!. One good
thing I like is the active community, so that is why I thought I´d
involve you.
If you have a minute, please just give me a short comment on why you
like to work with Play Framework. Comparison with other frameworks/
tools that you have used would also be interesting to hear about.
Thanks,
Helena Hjertén, Sweden.

Java powered framework without the usual complexity!

Brings together the best features of web frameworks like Rails and Django but backed with the power and stability of the JVM.

IMHO, Java is intellectually satisfying to use.
You spend more time in doing things than hitting your head against the wall of the framework. Play! fits my ideas and not the other way!
In the Java world, the frameworks giving this are really really rare. Generally, you spend the great majority of your time trying to understand how the designers think, to modify your ideas to fit into the framework, to read non-existing docs or wander on forums with questions without answers and to go around bugs of the framework itself.
Moreover, as people said, the community is quite active and helpful!

1st sentence error:"IMHO, Play is intellectually satisfying to use." (Java is less and less intellectually satisfying :( )

Human readable codebase, human usable API, not overdesigned, not overimplemented, just what it should be, hit save and refresh... All of this for developer productivity, less production cost and more profit:)

- Well thought out framework.
- Not too much magic (turned me off to rails).
- Wonderful IDE + Unit Testing tools + Java.
- Simple to use (A BIG plus compared to standard J2EE apps)
- Stateless (scalability)
- Awesome Dev Team (gets bug fixes out quick and listens to community)
Haha i think im in love with this framework :)

I just started 2 weeks ago with play, I just got on 1 presentation of play framework on Java Day's in Guatemala.
I am with a new project with play, and I am getting a large productivity with it, no beans, no session, no strange configurations, no deploys, no webserver /application server configuration problem.
I just want to develop, not to install/configure/deploy/restart/repeat until 100000^30 for every stage of project.
And Play! is just it, a easy form to bring fun to our works!
Sorry the bad english, I speak spanish :P

Minimal controller design, complete control over URL routing
Easy to configure/deploy
Stateless architecture
Dynamically reloads code when in development mode

Hi Helena
We gave a presentation at the java user group in Buenos Aires, and
next tuesday we'll give another.
From our experience, what impressed the most our audience is the edit-
refresh-see changes cycle...
Editing the routes file and showing how all the generated urls are
updated is also impressive, and the nicely integrated sellenium tests
give a good impression too.
as for the things I like
- small learning curve - if you have experience developing web apps
(php, rails, whatever) you can catch up with play easily
- setup with no hassle - just unzip and do stuff
- full stack - web server, db server, compiler... you can even program
with notepad
- edit code, press F5, see changes cycle - it feels like working with
a dynamic language framework
- excellent documentation
- vibrant community
- responsive dev team
- the code is really understandable and easy to follow, it's easy to
mess around with the code (something I wouldn't even dare to imagine
with others frameworks) and contribute back
- cloud computing friendly (playapps, gae, heroku, cloudbee,
openshift, etc...)
- IDE support
saludos

It's not the JavaEE6/JSF/EJB/Glassfish stack.

Thanks everyone for all your answers. Now I have lots of comments I can refer too.
Keep sending in more answers though, I think it might inspire the "committers" to do even better things!
