"ideal" and "better" are two very different things.
While stackless might have some advantages over 
normal Python for large scale web apps there are 
other languages/solutions that are better still, so 
neither is ideal. But either provides a more productive 
environment than the alternatives.

There are no perfect solutions, only compromises. 
The role of the engineer is to select the solution with 
least compromise for the problem at hand.
