Regardless of the technical qualities of Lift, its future is pretty uncertain with 1) dpp leaving the project (in pretty bad terms) a few months ago and 2) Typesafe choosing Play over Lift for its stack.

I would definitely not pick Lift today for a new project.

dpp did not leave lift. true he has other projects and focuses on more than just lift, but he is still heavily involved in it.

as to why typesafe chose play over lift: they wanted to go with lift but dpp didn't want to work with them - didnt think it a wise decision. his explanation: http://www.quora.com/Lift-web-framework/Why-did-Typesafe-sel...

Well, this doesn't sound a lot better than him leaving the project.

With a team of committers that are contributing consistently to the project, as well as David continuing to contribute regularly, I have no idea how you can get by saying this. Releases have continued apace, and work on Lift 3 has begun. What exactly is it that you think would be bad were dpp to leave the project altogether that you see happening right now?

This was a very interesting read, especially the part about the internal workings of Typesafe (a bit concerning too).
