This. I've been using ServiceStack pre-commercial for over two years. The clean, flexible, RESTful routing and lean extensions are a breath of fresh air compared to previous frustrations with the hodge-podge WCF 'REST toolkit'. Mythz as an architect and maintainer is spot on.

I had thought that MS might be on it now with Web API, but your comment suggests not.

Is ServiceStack OSS being maintained by a community?

Don't think so. There was some discussion following the announcement but it never came to anything afaik.

The time and effort mythz et al put in would more than justify paying for a license vs taking on the mantle in my case.
