After some years of living with Lift: Liftweb is awful. Don't use it.

There is not enough documentation (by a large margin, even with the books, one example being the dozens of hooks you could hook into if they were documented), it's too complicated and there are a millions ways to do one thing.

That said the rendering and binding is the best way to do rendering I've seen yet. I'd wish this was easily usable with other frameworks. And Rogue (from foursquare) for Mongo on top of Liftweb persistence mapping is excellent. My understanding they will support things outside Lift in the future.
