Here's some real-world feedback on WebLogic...

I haven't been to the Consumer Reports website in a while.
While I was away, they redid the site in WebLogic.

Firstly, it's slow as molasses.  Secondly, the search now brings
up way too many matches (it used to give only one link per
matching article, not links for each matching piece).  And thirdly,
the login page no longer loads, meaning the entire site is
virtually useless (since it's mostly a subscriber-only site).

Now granted, all of these may be due to incompetence in the
implementors, not WebLogic itself.  But I think it's safe to say that
WebLogic is making things harder, not easier, considering
these guys did have a functioning site before so they do know
what they're doing to some degree.

Right now I'm just really annoyed... our microwave has
committed hari kari, I've lost the issue with the most recent
microwave reviews, and I can't get in to the website.  Looks like
I'm stuck paying a slightly outrageous $7.75 to use their faxback
service!!!!
