For what it is worth, I have not looked in detail at this GroupIT.
One of my programmers, Jason Hines, has.  Jason is the author of
PhpWebLog and some other thingy's on sourceforge, is a genius
programmer in my estimation, and I trust his opinion.

Jason says that GroupIT is more of an application that is, indeed,
very slick, allows one to construct sites from a higher
abstraction level.  However, it is not what we want, namely
a kind of development environment that solves a lot of
common "problems".

Jason says that BC is (potentially) better for speeding up
development, code reuse, administration, Lego-izing the
world -- than GroupIT.  Maybe the way to describe this is
that GroupIT _may_ allow a secretary construct a slick
site, but it leaves everything a mess underneath.

Like I said, I have not looked personally at GroupIT.
From what I did see, and Jason's perusal, the vision
and concept of BC is far more attractive than GroupIT
for those people that want to be able to construct
_many_ sites reliably and quickly and have what is left
underneath reusable and easy to administrate.
