It's just that someone told me they were thinking of using Cocoon for
a project and my initial reaction was "don't do that"... based on
nothing more than sentiment and distant memory of people complaining
about it (sorry Cocoon!)

I suggested they look at XProc as (to a certain extent I think) it's a
modern lightweight alternative for Cocoon... but please correct me if
I'm wrong.

Personally I sometimes think that for all the initial gains you get
from using something like Cocoon you lose further into the project
when you have to workaround the limitations/quirks of the system...
