title: GAIA Framework, a blessing or a handicap?
body: <p>As a new developer, is GAIA Framework something that I want to look into.  Is this going to stifle my learning and keep me dependent upon such.</p>
  
  <p>What are the limitations of this framework.  Is there another framework out there that you can suggest for rapid site development with deep-linking and the other bells and whistles?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
