Feature List
A brief summery of Pie's features:
- Quick page processing and short run-time latency
- Highly adaptable configuration
- Low system requirements (both, in regard of the running server's performance as well as the complexity of the installed software base)
- Uses plain text files to store data, and thus is
- Independent of ODBC, SQL and other database systems, both, session-based and file-based (though such means can be easily employed by replacing the database layer)
- Object orientated storage back-end
- Easily extendable functionality based on distinctive action scripts
- Code library can be shared among multiple (virtual) hosts or installations
- Point & click user interface for text formatting
- Most editing and browsing function can be comfortably evokes via keyboard short cuts
- Multi-user handling
- Page locking
- Page and file versioning
- Page and file aliasing
- Extensive user manual
- Weighs less than 150 KB, including documentation, manuals and images

However, there are also drawbacks and trade offs:
- (Almost) no page-related run-time processing
- Less feature-rich than comparable competitors
- Does not end wars (mayby), does not make love (probably), can't cook coffee (for sure)
