That was my first thought, but doesn't Barracuda include a lot of "other
stuff" beside HTML generation - event handling,etc.?
Please explain what you mean that Barracuda doesn't handle "event
handling". It most certainly does, unless your definition of "event
handling" is different than mine.
Barracuda is has:
A component framework
An event handling framework
A form mapping framework
Each of these is built to be able to be used completely separately from the
others so you can pick and choose what you want to use. Heck, you could
use the form mapping framework with a Jakarta Struts as your presentation
framework if you wanted. So, again, either your idea of Barracuda is very
skewed and you should do a bit more research, or I don't understand what
you mean by "event handling".
